The Xterra guide for dummies
It’s Xterra fever in Cape Town (and South Africa) this weekend. The race just seems to grow and grow, and is now split over two days. I’m not sure why the Shongweni Dam leg in KZN never worked, because they probably have the most extensive off-road multisport calendar (maybe that’s the answer!). Totalsports have taken this over from sister store Due South and have the store footprint to leverage it further.

The Team Cycle Lab rider’s ambitions suffered a serious setback on Wednesday morning when his perennial team-mate Mclean announced that he had not yet recovered from an Achilles tendon injury and would be unable to race.

Burry Stander digs deep to claim MTN Tulbagh National MTB win
To win the MTN Tulbagh mountain bike ultra-marathon (105km) on Saturday (18 February), Burry Stander (Specialized) had to dig deep.
Going into the last few hundred metres Stander and Evans (Nedbank360Life) were racing shoulder to shoulder.
As they approached the line, Evans managed to edge slightly ahead of Stander on the inside and it seemed as if he might just take the victory.
