Jennie Stenerhag wins the Amashova in Durban!

iRide Africa's lead road guide is on top form at the moment-19 race wins this year and counting!.

Last weekend, she traveled up to Durban to take part in one of South Africa's biggest races, the Amashova- a race from Pietermaritzburg to Durban, through the valley of a thousand hills.

The womens bunch consisted of 300 riders
with all the top teams representing, so Jennie had to work super hard to close down the breakaways as well as contending with miserable weather and a wheel change after she punctured!

Jennie was instrumental in whittling down the lead group to 9 riders by the time they reached Durban and had enough 'oomph' in her legs to take the sprint to victory.

Ceres is where it's at!

Yet another weekend away, yet another action packed few days of good laughs, great company and terrific riding. Life is tough!

I took the 'easy' option and scouted for new rides on my MX bike whilst the others partook in racing around this mountain bike paradise on trails varying from 15km to the monster 70km option. Good on you all and I hope you'll all be back next year!

Here are some photos to convince you to come on one of our singletrack tours...

Some days are just too good

OK, so no photos to prove it because we were just too busy riding on the first real day of summer.

• Long hot slog up a mountain followed by kilometers of finger aching singletrack.

• Then a gigantic burger with potato wedges and onion rings and a ice cold beer for the measly some of R50 (under £4!!!)

• New black trails at Oak Valley
• Riding in the rain-this doesn't happen very often down here!

• Marcus' face after realising that 'Singletrack is the answer'
