A beautiful, sunny day offered the Paarl MTB Classic mountain bikers and their supporters a fun day out at Rhebokskloof Wine Estate today.
Participants enjoyed the clear and scenic views from the 60km and 30km routes, as well as all the treats on offer on route and at the finish venue.
Local resident HB Kruger of Team BCX won the 60km race with Carmen Buchacher taking the win in the women’s category.
The men’s 30km event saw Rudi Koen take the honours with Yolande Peacock taking the title for the women.
