Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality Executive Mayor, Cllr Eugene Johnson has congratulated winners at The Herald Cycle Tour which was wrapped up today with the main 106KM race following a successful two weekend event.
With more than 1000 cyclists taking part in today’s race, Mayor Johnson thanked The Herald newspaper as a partner for putting the City on the national cycling map.
"The Herald Cycle Tour is getting bigger, our City and its people are very proud to host this annual cycling classic. Any race that has survived and flourished since 1986 has to be well managed and meticulously planned.
"Our sponsors must also take a bow for supporting this wonderful race. I congratulate all cyclists and winners present. The race saw some dreams come true while others hit the dust, that is the nature of life and competition and your next race may be even better. I trust that we will see our visitors again in the beautiful Bay whether for the next race, practicing against our hills and to enjoy our views or simply for a seaside holiday," Mayor Johnson said.
She also congratulated all the event organisers and said the City was proud to be associated with the event.
She said to applause: "We pledge as we pledged before; we are sponsoring this event for three years to a total of R1.2million and we will continue to support the Herald Cycle Tour.”
