I entered the ISUZU MTB Enduro because it was local, included all my favourite Tygerberg trails and was organised by Stillwater Sports.  The most memorable part is that I got to do most of the event with my cousin.  Also chilling at a water point and still being able to podium is unheard of in other events.  The ISUZU MTB Festival is such a great concept.  You get to partake in more than one cycling discipline at one destination on one weekend and it\u2019s for all age groups.  I will definitely be back next year.\u201d  Louis-Bresler Knipe claimed victory in a lightning fast combined time of 15 minutes 39 seconds.  Gary Barnard came in second, while Mark Hopkins finished third.<\/p>\n<p>According to Stow, it\u2019s the diverse style of riding that attracts her to the sport of Enduro.  \u201cYou need to have a decent level of fitness and technical skill.  The ISUZU MTB Enduro was a fun day out at a great event with great people.  The event photographs perfectly captured the fun and beauty of the trails that we were privileged enough to ride.  I am already looking forward to next year\u2019s event.\u201d  Ila Stow claimed victory in the women\u2019s race in a combined time of 19 minutes 06 seconds.  Tanya Stow came in second, while Linda Van Wyk finished third.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"ipsAttachLink ipsAttachLink_image\" href=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-2-0-33081500-1442569646.jpg\" data-fileid=\"600736\" data-fileext=\"jpg\" rel=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" data-fileid=\"600736\" class=\"ipsImage ipsImage_thumbnailed\" alt=\"ccs-2-0-33081500-1442569646.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-2-0-33081500-1442569646.jpg\" title=\"\"><\/a><span class=\"italic text-sm text-slate-500 block mt-1 mb-4\">Ila Stow in action at the ISUZU MTB Enduro on Saturday, 05 September 2015.

The festival is a superb idea as the whole family can get involved.  Luke, my wife and I did the Team Relay together, while I also competed in the 60km Fedhealth MTB Challenge on the Sunday.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more information on the ISUZU MTB Festival Cape Town visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stillwatersports.com\" rel=\"external nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">www.stillwatersports.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Louis-Bresler Knipe and Ila Stow received much deserved acclaim at the official ISUZU MTB Enduro prize-giving held at Revolution Cycles in Cape Town on Thursday evening, 17 September 2015.
