Cycle Lab KZN Schools Series 2024

The Cycle Lab KZN Schools MTB Series is a series of 4 races that take place annually in the 3rd term.

The events cater for all kids that are able to ride bicycles. The events are safe because they are held within school properties on non-technical tracks comprising laps that are suitable for the different age categories.

Due to the races being mostly flat and fast, there is competitive racing which is a lot of fun for both competitors and spectators. This year the races were held at Maritzburg College, Curro Salt Rock, Howick High School and Waterfall College. The schools also compete to create the most exhilarating tracks. At the end of the series, we conduct a survey and recognise the best event based on : The track, the set-up, catering facilities and ablutions.

Riders are allocated points determined by their respective finishing positions, which are added together at the end of the series, to determine the series winner and the winning school.

The best riders in the province are selected to compete at an inter-schools and inter-provincial competition. The high school event is taking place at Wagpos, Skool in Brits. While the primary school competition is being held at Bergsig Perdegat in Harrismith.

BMX SA Cup and SA Champions in Cape town

Whilst the weather conditions weren’t on our side on Sunday, the riders rode like champions in the rainy, windy weather. Our young athletes have returned with impressive results: Sanele Shozi secured the title of SA Champ, Ntuthuko Shozi finished 5th, Asanda placed 4th among the fastest 12-year-olds, Nzama took 2nd in the 17 and over category, and Bayanda finished 4th in the boys’ 15 years class. Under the guidance of their dedicated coach, Mvelo “Cheesy” Ntombela, the team not only achieved remarkable results but also had a fantastic experience exploring Cape Town. We also engaged with the Velokhaya and Songo teams, emphasizing that BMX is inclusive for all. We look forward to your support and collaboration in the future.

KwaMashu Action

The ongoing activations in and around Durban – especially in areas like KwaMashu and Newlands East – continue to grow in popularity and the rider development is on an augmented curve through the efforts of all involved. Due to the large areas to be covered and the large numbers of schools and riders in the district, a series of mini hubs have ben established in eThekwini, and includes venues in Newlands East, KwaMashu, Hambanathi and Cato Manor with all being well supported by the local communities and cycling has taken a foothold in all the areas as a healthy and constructive way for the youngsters of the areas to pass their times. This past weekend saw another great event taking place at Freedom Park in KwaMashu staged in conjunction with the Go Academy, and 13 riders from the Newlands East Mini Hub and 19 riders from the KwaMashu Mini Hub were part of the programme. The young riders performed exceptionally well, with several podium finishes achieved including: – Under 10 Boys: Kenzo Mtambo (3rd place) – Under 10 Girls: Kesley Gamble (1st place), Skyler Smith (2nd place) – Under 15 Girls: Teiya Williams (2nd place) These community events are proving to be not only beneficial to the people taking part, but are also allowing for more and more talent to be unearthed during competition phases. More will continue being done…
