I was quite excited for the Mankele National after not having been in a XCO race since African Champs in February. The turn out was a little disappointing but we lined up with enthusiasm nonetheless.
Mankele is a course that demands a lot from the legs and upper body something I feel suites my riding well. I went hard on the back straight to get into the single track first & managing to stretch my lead over each lap to finish with over 7mins to spare.
I thoroughly enjoyed the course and the guys at Mankele, as always, put together a well organised event. CSA has come to the party too! they have been awarding us handsomely with decent prize money at the XCO & DH Nationals this year. Definitely incentive to race hard!
Huge Thank you to all involved and in particular my title sponsor Valencia and also Adidas & Continental. Infinita and Boss for the support.
