The capital was littered with scenes of bikers taking part in the NedBank Cycle Challenge as both the serious and the less competitive joined in the fun during the race over the weekend.

Tristan de Lange was the leader in the 15 km race on Saturday, while Mannie Heymans was the overall leader in the 40 km race.

The Sunday results were not available at the time of going to press.

Namibian Sun’s Feodora von Francois took pictures of the bikers enjoying an exciting experience on Saturday and Sunday.
