It's with tremendous sadness and shock, that we mourn the passing of James Williamson.

James, or Jimmy to some, was not only a former World 24 hour Solo champion (2008), but just a fantastic guy. He has been to Forrest on numerous occassions, and stayed with us at our home. James was competing in the Cape Epic in Sth Africa when he passed away in his sleep.

Willo has worked with MTBSkills in the past, helping us run some of our Enduro courses. He enjoyed himself, as did the participants enjoy the chance to ride with such a champion.

Our heart goes out to his partner Niki, and his family. James was a truely great champion and will be deeply missed by all.

So long mate.
