| I was asked in a tweet last week if a rider should sit or stand when climbing a hill on a bike. I wish I could give a one-word answer, but that isn’t possible.

| Golovane Explore, Holla Trails race report... |

| Over the weekend the crew from Holla trails mountain bike park played host to yet another outstanding race event in the Balito area.
Following on from the successful Golovane Classic, the “Explore’s” emphasis was on teams of two completing an 86km course through the Balito and adjacent sugarcane fields. Initially climbing 35km to the escarpments edge the teams were the asked to descend down along a sublime single track through an indigenous forest periodically crossing the valley bottom stream. From here it may have seemed plain sailing but the 3km climb up to Howards bush was the undoing of many of the participants. With gradients reaching 20% and temperatures soaring to 37oC the 300m of vertical ascent proved to challenge even the strongest riders abilities. The riders were however well rewarded with ice cold water and bananas at the top before barreling down along tight and technical single track to the crocodile farm at the bottom (a great touch from the race organisers!).
