Rustenburg – The Rustenburg Cycling Club (RCC) performed excellent in the 100 Cycle Challenge held on Sunday, 6 May.

The 100 Cycle Challenge is a gruelling 100km cycle race for both leisure and professional riders, 15 years and older, starting and ending at the Germiston Lake, Ekurhuleni, Gauteng.

Some RCC cyclist took part in the Nissan Trailseeker. From forest to fynbos and muddy to just plain madness, mountain bikers know how to rise to the occasion. Without a constant push to be better and do better, nothing would move forwards and new boundaries would be left unchallenged.

It's this thinking and passion that has led to Nissan South Africa's sponsorship of MTB – a glorious way to discover more than just roads, but also the scenery that surrounds them.
