Lost City Cycle Classic

I arrived back in SA on Wednesday, with a road and mountain bike race awaiting me over the weekend.

Just getting back I didn’t know how my body would react after travelling.

But I must add it was nice to see and race with my team mates again.

The Subaru Lost City mountain bike race

It was a short, flat 50km circuit. And the race

started crazy fast with a lot of participants fighting

for a front position turning onto the gravel road.

It took me a few kilometres to get the feeling for

my Mountain bike again but once on I loved it. And

WON the race, I am really happy for that because

the race was sponsored by one of our Team

Garmin-DCM main sponsors, Subaru and

also because it’s my first big win on my mountain bike.

The Powerade CANSA Lost City cycle race

One of the nice things I experience that day was being back on my Cervelo bike. Our team are

really lucky to get our bikes fully serviced before a race, even in 3 days time Roy (Team

manager) managed to fix my broken zipp wheel and were I able to race on it.

Our team made the racing from the start and we manage to get away in a few breaks. But the

final move on the day consisted of 8 girls. Me and lynette (Cycle lab) was a bit out numbered

against 4 MTN girls, Which made the final sprint difficult trying to cover all the attacks. But we

manage to get a 3^rd place (Lynette burger)
