2010 Race Report
Max Knox fought a fascinating duel with former South African road champion David George and defending champion Brandon Stewart before edging to a seven-second victory in the fifth Sunday Tribune Jeep Hill 2 Hill Mountain Bike Marathon yesterday. Knox, his DCM teammate Stewart and George were locked in a tense struggle for superiority over the 100km course that was only settled on the very last hill within sight of the finish of the race from Hilton to the Shongweni Club in Hillcrest.

Joanna van de Winkel led her Biogen Toyota team to podium dominance when she won the inaugural Clover Lowveld Cycle Tour in Graskop, Mpumalanga on Sunday. The four-day, five-stage tour took in some of the country’s most demanding road cycling terrain and attracted all the major men and women’s professional teams, hungry for a more testing event on a local calendar glaringly short of stage races.

Race Report 2010

The real action was up front where Knox and Stewart worked together to make things as tough as possible for George. In a David and Goliath display, the former roadie slung back as good as he got and his acceleration up the 5km Sunrise Hill 15km from the finish eventually saw Stewart drop off.

Knox countered George’s acceleration with an even bigger surge, and the two raced clear of Stewart. For the rest of the long Sunrise section the two were locked together, and over the top Knox sat back on his rival’s wheel.

105KM Route Overview

There are four Sunday Tribune Jeep Hill 2 Hill races – the main race is about 100km and starts in Hilton, a 40km race starts at Cato Ridge and follows the last 40 kilometres of the main race, and then two short kids races in the Shongweni Polo Club grounds.

The good news for cyclists in the 100km race is the race is just under 100km in 2009, but while the final heart-breaking hill from 2008 has been removed (a hill which had riders climbing a final ascent while within earshot of the festivities at the finish), the race is still not a walk in the park and the key to enjoying the event is to pace yourself.

40KM Route Overview
For the shorter race, Cato Ridge is only the start of their journey, but for the longer riders the water point provides the knowledge that the race is more than half over. The next 10kms are pretty easy riding with a minor climb to the highway crossing with lots of nice, gentle downhills, firstly along some cattle paths soon after crossing the N3, and then a fast gentle descent next to the railway line. Watch for the sharp left turn to cross the disused railway tracks and the underpass under the N3 … then the fun starts.

Race Rules

It is in the spirit of self-contained, self-reliant backcountry cycling that Mountain Bike competition events are conducted. The rules have been kept simple to preserve the basic essence of mountain biking and avoiding unnecessary requirements.

Firstly, riders must complete the entire distance of the race and the responsibility for following the official route lies with the rider.

Secondly, a rider is not permitted to take any shortcuts or to omit a circuit or take other advantage of a similar nature against opponents.
