Well known Hervey Bay mountain biker Mike Zande on Saturday broke 3 intermediate records on his way to shattering the record for riding the South Burnett Rail Trail from Kilkivan-Kingaroy and back.
Zande, the first person to complete the 311km "double" of the Brisbane Valley and South Burnett Rail Trails from Wulkuraka to Kilkivan, said his ride on Saturday was intended as training for a future attempt on the southbound SBRT-BVRT "double". With favourable trail conditions and mild weather, Zande said he "surprised and smashed myself" by breaking the Kilkivan-Murgon, Murgon-Kilkivan, Kingaroy-Kilkivan, and Kilkivan-Kingaroy-Kilkivan records, the latter by an incredible 55m34s, with a time of 7hr55m46s. Previous record holder Lachlan Davis congratulated Zande on his "awesome effort", and said he would attempt to reclaim the records in June.
