<\/a><\/p>\nIt will be a debut at the BSi Steel dusi2c for Red Bull\/Specialized star Bianca Haw as she takes to the two-day adventure in the mixed category with Andrew Houston with hopes of a mixed category triumph when they get underway from 20-21 June.<\/span><\/p>\n Darren Goddard\/ Gameplan Media<\/p>\n \u201cI am really looking forward to racing in my first dusi2c with Housty,\u201d the upbeat Red Bull\/Specialized rider said. \u201cWe have been looking for a race to do together and this one seemed perfect because it is a little more relaxed and we have never ridden in a race together.<\/p>\n \u201cWe do train together very often so we are familiar with each other\u2019s strengths and he is a strong rider who is going to be pushing me when needed!\u201d<\/p>\n Houston took part in the race in 2014 with Michael Hay where the pair ended in eighth place overall and Haw knows that her and Houston are going to be racing hard once the gun goes despite downplaying the duo\u2019s expectations for the race.<\/p>\n \u201cWe are going to try and enjoy the race as much as we can and with our competitive natures, racing means we are enjoying it.<\/p>\n \u201cThe mixed category is going to be a tough race and Housty has been throwing out that we are in fact going for an overall title win, let alone the mixed title!\u201d she said firmly tongue in cheek.<\/p>\n Following the national marathon championships in the North West this weekend, Haw will be heading back to KwaZulu-Natal to help father \u2018Farmer\u2019 Glen Haw and the rest of his team put the finishing touches to the tracks, bridges and floating bridges that have become synonymous with the Nedbank sani2c, Old Mutual joBerg2c and now the BSi Steel dusi2c as well.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is tradition that we head home the week of the race to go and help with getting everything ready.<\/p>\n
