CSMX Tierhoek – 29 August 20<strong>21</strong><br />

The 3rd round of the CSMX Enduro Racing season<br />

for 20<strong>21</strong> took place on top of a mountain-ringed<br />

plateau at Piekenierskloof, surrounded by snowcapped<br />

peaks of the Citrusdal mountain range.<br />

With intermittent showers and then sunshine, the<br />

riders got off to a staggered start as the terrain<br />

could not accommodate the usual rush for the holeshot,<br />

and then disappeared out into the tough loop<br />

set for them by the Tierhoek Enduro Compound.<br />

Rocks and MUD were prime features on the day<br />

with many riders becoming totally bogged down in<br />

various sections and needing assistance from their<br />

fellow competitors to get going again. Rear wheels<br />

were totally buried in the mud and the riders needed<br />

to dig themselves out using only their hands.<br />

Some vehicles in the pits even needed the tractor<br />

that was on standby to extricate them from sticky<br />

situations.<br />

The coup de grace for the weary was a tyre-androck<br />

obstacle section of about 90m length just<br />

before the finish line which saw many victims using<br />

the last of their energy to make it through.<br />

The final events of the racing season, (4 & 5), will<br />

be a double header at Bennie se Lapa, Robertson<br />

on 23rd & 24th of October. All the riders are looking<br />

forward to ending the year on a high note. Be<br />

there!<br />
