Walkerville classic happening this weekend

The Medscheme Walkerville Mountain Bike Classic will take place on July 13 in South Africa with an expected 1,500 racers. Among the favorites attending is Yolandé Speedy, who will represent South Africa at the Olympic Games in Beijing.

The race will consist of two distances: an intermediate 35 km route and a more challenging 60 km for the serious adventure racing junkies out there. Both courses were designed by Ken Davies, route director.
