Fantastic year for Bartho brothers

Willem de Waal

ALL is set for this year’s Rotary Foskor Safari Cycle Tour and Kermesse in Richards Bay on Sunday 20 August.
This year the race features a new circuit route which should provide extremely fast times as well as allow supporters to see the riders during every lap.

Circuit
The race starts at 7am from the Bearing Man Zululand Triathlon Club (BMZTC).
The 25km lap then runs along Bayview Boulevard and along the John Ross Highway to the Foskor intersection.
Riders then take a loop past the Bayside smelter, back onto the R34 and towards the start and finish line through Meerensee.
Spectators can relax at the BMZTC and watch the competitors every time they start a new lap. The prize money for the 100km race should attract some of the country’s top riders with the added incentive of the top 30 making the kermesse.
There is also a junior kermesse for the top 15 junior finishers.

The first race is scheduled to start at 7.15am with the kermesse following at 10.30am.
Closing date for entries is at 11pm on Wednesday 16 August.
