This event challenged cyclists to test their riding power output on a stationary indoor training bike while “virtually” riding a real Johannesburg road, with inclines and corners.
Hundreds of participants took part in the High Schools MTB Interprovincial and Primary Schools MTB race, with school teams and individuals racing on the XCO track built by Neil Evans.
First place went to Transvalia High, with Potchefstroom Gymnasium in second, followed by Hartbeespoort High.
The Africa Cycle Fair showcased some of the latest trends in cycling gear and accessories.
