Limberg\u2019s goals set this year include improving his mind-set when riding internationally and at home. He also hopes to become South African National BMX Champion, and hit a double whammy when he takes on the last two rounds of the National Age Group Series as well.<\/p>\n
The Team Faith Rockstar rider won his first National event last year when he took first prize in the Elite Men\u2019s category at rounds four, five and six of the National Age Group Series at Alexandra Park in July.<\/p>\n
The African Continental Championships have so far seen confirmed entries from Zimbabwe and Namibia.<\/p>\n
Cycling South Africa\u2019s BMX Commission Director, Margot Gerber said: \u201cAll of the preparations are going well, and everything is coming along nicely \u2013 we are just hoping for good weather.\u201d<\/p>\n
KwaZulu-Natal has been greeted with some much-needed rain over the past few weekends, and race organisers hope that it plays fair for competition time.<\/p>\n
Giba Gorge is a favourite among many South African BMX enthusiasts, and the only track in Africa with a BMX Supercross track and 8m start gate. The venue hosted both the African Continental and South African National BMX Championships in 2014.<\/p>\n
