Solank die fietsspeke sing en die grondpaaie aanhou kronkel tussen bosse en berge, is bergfietsryer Juan\u00e9 van Zyl (15) van Kariega op haar gelukkigste.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Di\u00e9 dinamiese jong fietsryer het verlede jaar ernstig begin trap en is besig om vinnig opgang te maak as opkomende bergfietsryer en werk hard aan haar droom om eendag internasionaal te kan deelneem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juan\u00e9 het laasnaweek aan die The Herald MTB 60km Challenge by Addo deelgeneem en het sewende in die vroue kategorie ge\u00ebindig en eerste in haar ouderdomsgroep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Voor di\u00e9 wedren het sy verlede jaar aan die Merrell Tsitsikamma MTB fietswedren deelgeneem waar sy die algehele wenner in die vroue-afdeling was. So-ook was sy die algehele wenner in die vroue-afdeling van die G2C Grahamstown 2 Sea (58km) tussen Makhanda en Port Alfred.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mal oor fietsry<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk is mal oor bergfietsry. Dit is my happy place<\/span>. Op die fiets is ek is baie gefokus en geniet elke oomblik,\u201d s\u00ea Juan\u00e9, \u2019n graad 10 leerder aan Die Brandwag Ho\u00ebrskool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dit was toe sy op haar ma, Minette van de Vyver \u2013 ook \u2019n kranige bergfietsryer \u2013 se fiets vir die sports gery het wat Juan\u00e9 besef het sy hou van di\u00e9 adrenalien-gevoel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOp 31 Desember 2021 het my ma en pa my verras met my eie fiets, \u2019n Trek Fuel EX 9.7 met dubbel-suspensie. Dit was \u2019n groot bederf.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Volgens Minette het Juan\u00e9 sedert sy begin fiets-ry het, nog elke keer in haar kategorie gewen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Juan\u00e9 van Zyl (15) van Kariega het verlede jaar ernstig begin bergfietsry en het reeds \u2018n paar draaie op die podium gemaak. <\/div>\n

Haar eerste amptelike wedren waaraan Juan\u00e9 deelgeneem het, was die 2022 The Herald 30km by Addo. In die Angora Classic het Juan\u00e9 vir die eerste keer op die podium gestaan met \u2019n algehele tweede plek in die vroue-afdeling. In haar eerste 60km wedren, die uitmergelende Trans-Elands, was sy algeheel sewende.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy het ook \u2019n padfiets, maar ry dit net vir interval-oefeninge saam met haar afrigter, die oud-provinsiale fietsryer Gavin Schoombee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEk oefen elke dag. Die afstande en intensiteit van elke dag verskil. Sondae trap ons gewoonlik baie ver, soos die 127km retoer roete van hier af deur Addo, op met die pas, tot by die Zuurberg-hotel en terug,\u201d s\u00ea Juan\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOns het \u2019n mountain bike <\/span>groep op WhatsApp met fietsryers van Despatch en Uitenhage. As iemand wil gaan ry, dan vra hulle net. Daar is altyd iemand wat s\u00ea hulle sluit aan by ons. Ek is die tweede jongste in die groep.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sy is ook \u2019n lid van die Madiba Bay Youth Cycling Club met Luca Fanicchi as die afrigter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Queen of the Mountain<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minette s\u00ea plaaslik is daar die MTB Aloe Trails (10km, 6km, 2.5km) wat Donald Tuck en ander fietsryers saam met haar en haar man Louis van der Vyver ontwikkel het in die berge agter die konsentrasiekampterrein. Hulle is tans besig om nog langer roetes oop te kap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOp Strava is Juan\u00e9 met al drie die Aloe roetes die Queen of the Mountain. By baie van die ander roetes is sy algeheel onder die top tien.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Met Moeder Aarde het Juan\u00e9 al verskeie kere goed kennis gemaak, maar Juan\u00e9 s\u00ea elke sport het sy beserings. \u201cOngelukke verskerp jou sintuie en vaardighede, want jy wil nie w\u00e9\u00e9r seerkry nie.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wat haar toekomsplanne betref s\u00ea Juan\u00e9, \u201cBaie fietsryers bereik hierdie ideaal deur vir \u2019n universiteit te ry. In \u2019n ideale w\u00eareld is dit ook wat ek graag sal wil doen. Om \u2018n universiteitsbeurs met my fietsry te kry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Intussen doen sy elke dag waaroor sy mal is, bergfietsry, en oefen vir die wedrenne wat wag: Die Hayterdale Classic, Angora Classic, Bay by Bike, en First Choice Classic in Jeffreysbaai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
