Cycling is a priority early in 2009 for Swaziland

Barely 3 weeks into the new year and already the wheels are turning, more quickly for some than for others. The inaugral Newcom Wheelz race held in Mafutseni on Sunday the 18th attracted a 70 strong field - pretty good for a newbie.
The Men's 80km event was snatched by William Kelly from Craig Randall, both saying the wind made for tricky riding.
Other accounts of the day suggested the overcast morning was ideal to get the legs moving. Linda Loffler came in second to Lesley Fitton in the elite ladies' category.

The Nhlangano race is also around the corner and wile it's a road race, it is one gaining popularity and proves to be a hotbed for contenders of future races.
