Some people are natural cyclists, whilst others (ie, myself) are more prone to flying over handlebars, acquiring nasty roasties and denting their helmets. But even if you happen to be a disaster on 2 wheels, it doesn't mean that you can't enjoy yourself in the company of other Lance-Armstrong-Wannabes at events like the Duesouth Xterra.

The action-packed Duesouth Exterra duathlon was held during the Annual Knsyna Oyster Festival at the magnificent Pezula Private Estate in Knysna, South Africa. On Thursday the 8th of July, hundreds of focused competitors gathered to participate in 25km of off-road mountain biking and a 10km trail run. 

 

Expand a Sign Ex-Dome gazebos and Feather Banners were set up at the finishing leg of the cycling discipline, welcoming the athletes back and sending them off for the final trail run. KTM Bike Industries are loyal and satisfied customers of ours, who enjoy sending photos and feedback from events.

Knysna is a quiet seaside town that comes alive for a week every July. The annual Knysna Oyster Festival is a vibrant occasion with sporting events, an art and culture emphasis and many food and wine tastings.

You know what they say about oysters and their affect on endurance? I reckon these athletes are at an unfair advantage!

Cheers,

The EAS Team.
