Platinum Weekly newspaper | Rustenburg – A podium finish, challenging routes and fresh faces gave Rustenburg Cycling Club (RCC) plenty to celebrate as members rode out of October and straight into November.
Alta Lombaard, Danie Lombaard and Johan Roos tackled the demanding 103km East Side Classic at Carnival City on Sunday, 1 November 2026, delivering excellent results. Alta claimed first place in the Female E-bike category in 2 hours and 50 minutes. Danie secured sixth place in the Male E-bike category in 2 hours and 40 minutes, while Johan completed the Open category race in an impressive 2 hours and 52 minutes.
The previous day, Saturday, 31 October, RCC’s mountain bike and road cycling groups enjoyed their regular weekend outings. Ten mountain bikers explored the single tracks towards Kroondal, stopping at a local roadside stall for refreshments before rounding off their ride with a well-deserved cold drink at Coffee on Safari.
Meanwhile, the road cyclists took on a testing 120km route from Rustenburg Toyota to Sun City.
With strong participation, new faces joining the rides and racing results worth celebrating, RCC finished one month and welcomed the next in fine style.
The club thanks its sponsors for their support: Rustenburg Toyota, Infinity, M Civils, Rustenburg Gearbox Centre, Local Choice Pharmacy and Beds4Less.
