A good mixture between a social family affair and a competitive cycle race is expected at the 10th annual Grey College Cycle Race on Sunday.
The organiser of the prestigious cycle race, JD Ferreira, told Courant that participants can expect a bit of everything that has transpired over the last ten years.
“It is always a nice family affair. A lot of cyclist race for the fun while other semi-professional cyclists will fight it out for the bragging rights,” says Ferreira.
Last year the event attracted over 400 Cyclists from across the country. The former Cape-Argus tour winner, Tyler Day was narrowly beaten by his brother Dusty Day in a time of 2:20:14. Tyler had to settle for second place with a time of 2:20:39, while the exciting Juandre van Aswegen came in third place.
