JBay Winterfest – Trail Running, Funduro and Fishing – All The Results.
JBay – It was an action–packed weekend for the JBay Winterfest, with the Endurade JBay X Trail Run, the Slake Funduro, the Winterfest Skins Competition and the Bowling Tournament all taking place. In the back ground, while the events were taking place, waves were reeling down at Supers for competitors to get some practice for the upcoming Corona Open JBay contest.
The Endurade Trail Run experienced some fierce weather, with a blustery southwest wind and some rainfall. This did nothing to hamper the runners, who soldiered on through it all, to finish stage three this morning. Christell Van Der Watt showed her supremacy this year, by winning the Women’s Series, while Mvuyisi Gnogco won the Overall Men’s Series.

While not a contest, the JBay Winterfest Funduro continues to attract hordes of riders every year for its fun and well-organised Moto X. It was a fun day out for the whole family, with some incredible riding going down, a couple of slams, but all made better by the great food on offer and the classic vibes that permeate from this day of riding every year.
It was dry and dusty conditions throughout, as the event took place before the really bad weather hit, so it was ideal for the 200 plus riders to do their stuff and have some fun.
There were a number of keen entries in the Slakepit obstacle course, with a coupe of good runs and one or two OTB’s. A VZ Freewheelers Expression Session made up some more of the excitement, and there was the A-loop for the more experienced, while the beginners and kids had a chance to go on the B-Loop.
An awesome, well-attended day down at Kabeljous for the fishing tournament, the JBay Winterfest Skins Fishing Competition was another huge success, with great catches this year and some prize specimens revealed. This year the contest enjoyed tremendous support from their sponsors, and there were a multitude of prizes for all the various disciplines.

Quick Cape Town Fact: Why are the houses in Bo-Kaap district painted in bright colours? The original residents of this area in Cape Town were descendants of slaves brought in from Africa and Asia and were Muslims. As part of their religion they celebrate Ramadan – the Islamic month of fasting. At the end of the holy month it is tradition to dress up in brightly coloured clothes and at the same time many of the residents then paint their houses. The reason for getting so many different colours is that the residents and neighbours discuss together what colours they are painting their houses to avoid colour clashes or two houses painted the same colour next to each other.
