Kathryn Fourie is from Howick in KZN, and lives a hop and skip (or a fast uphill pedal) from some of the best trails in the country. Her interest in riding has resulted in her position as a project manager of the Sappi Mountain Biking Project, which she enjoys thoroughly. Kath has been riding bikes since 2011-ish, and was fooled into doing DH at the beginning of 2012 and somehow continued doing it even after falling on her head numerous times. She’s got a bit better, but still falls off plenty. In fact, that could be the reason why she never remembers where she came at any of the races.
Kath will be racing in the 30 – 34 age category, and her Top 3 riding achievements (that she can remember) include:
1. Most Improved DH Rider award in 2014
2. Winning KZN Champs in 2014 and 2015 with all my best riding friends around me
3. Finally doing the Chatel Canyon Gap in 2014 (and getting to ride in Europe twice)
Kath tends to stick to Giant bikes, and her current DH poppet is a: Giant Glory 2013
