Addo Mountain bike fun run Nov 2008 

Came first among the ladies in the 30km fun run with a time of 1.13.56 on a 350 Mountain bike with a Lead Acid battery. The bike made it on the battery and still had power left for a further 10kms.

The event was organised by Leisure Cycle Tours and a first at the Addo reserve. Must say it was a fantastic day. And the bike went as smoothly as the event.  

 

 

After the race 

The only problem of the day - The lovely clean bike was covered with dust and went home with a few extra grams of Addo on it.  

 

A 350 Mountain bike doing well on an incline 

Uphills are much easier with the help of an electric motor.  I could never have made it up the hill on an ordinary bicycle.

 

Ideal bike for the hot weather in Natal

One does not arrive at your destination all hot and sweaty with this bike.

  

 

Off the beaten track with a off-road bike as partner

We took a trip up a mountain nearby and the bikes performance pleasantly surprised the off-roaders owner.
