Silva Qualifies #1

Kogelberg, South Africa - Day one kicked off late morning, after registration and greeting new riders. Riders only had practise runs on day one, getting to know the hill and getting accustomed to the conditions.

The racetrack is nestled in a valley, causing the default south-easterly wind to twist, turn and get turbulent around the curves of the mountains. Riders were getting used to head, tail and cross-winds, all in a single run. After a successful day and a few spills, riders retreated to the Hangklip Hotel for showers, nourishment and some character building.

On the morning of day two riders were greeted by a light drizzle, clouds, and a brisk southerly wind. Time trials got underway after four practise runs. Douglas Silva took the number one spot in the open category, with a time of 1:45 Jonas Richter took junior one with a time of 1:55 and Myles Kenmuir took junior two with a time of 2:07. Rebekka Gemperle took the best time in the ladies category with a time of 2:03. Street Luge was taken by Peter Elliot with a time of 1:46 and Glen Phillips took classic luge with a time of 1:52.

After time trials a cold mist settled, allowing riders a few cool practise runs before the evening's festivities. We shall see you tomorrrow.
