National XCO and DH Series Calendar Confirmed
Cycling South Africa has confirmed the dates for the 2012 National Mountain Bike XCO and DH Series. The series, consisting of four events and a one-off championship race, will visit five different provinces and span just over five months from February to July 2012.
The cross-country (XCO) format is fast and furious, and those lean and mean athletes who have been training hard during the December holidays and skipping out on the second helpings of the festive treats will be prepared for the challenges that lie ahead in 2012, the ‘Olympic Year’.

SA Track Stars on Track in Beijing
Nolan Hoffman and Bernard Esterhuizen turned in solid performances at the recent Beijing round of the 2011-2012 UCI Track Cycling World Cup presented by Samsung, the 3rd of the four leg series. The racing took place from 12th to 15th January.
First up was Nolan Hoffman in the 15 kilometer Scratch race. Nolan rode a very controlled heat to qualify comfortably for the final, this after being part of a 4-man breakaway who had lapped the bunch. He rode a very aggressive final featuring in one or two breakaway attempts and even doing the hard work to close a gap or two.

Happy Friday the 13th
Today is Friday the 13th, a day many people believe to be a day of bad luck. The fear of Friday the 13th is called paraskevidekatriaphobia, a mash up of the (mostly Greek) words “fear,” “13″ and “Friday.”
Lets embrace it, Happy Friday. Enjoy.
