GARDEN ROUTE SPORT NEWS - The annual George endurance ride took place again at the Aartappelstoor of 4 Brothers last weekend.
The main race of the day was won in style by experienced long distance riders Mandie Cronje and Ashley Gower, both riding for Team 765 of Peter Chantler.
Mandie and Ashley are a couple and showed that true love extends across the finish line. Electronic tags were used to determine stop times at the race and their tags clocked exactly the same time, to the second.
A very close second place went to Mabet Cilliers, who rides for the renowned Saruk stud from Riversdale.
The 80km race was won by Le Roux Endurance from Uniondale, taking first in the standard weight category, and first and second in the lightweight category. Julia de Kock finished second in the 80km standard weight.
Riders came from Cape Town as well as the Eastern Cape and although it was pretty much winter chilly when the 120km participants departed at 04:30, the weather played along and fun was had at the foot of the Outeniqua mountains.
