Canberra Champion Mountain Biker James Williamson died in his sleep last night in South Africa, a very sad day for the Canberra MTB Community.
Williamson could not be roused on Tuesday morning by teammate Shaun Lewis, according to reports. He was rushed to Ceres Private Hospital but was pronounced dead at 6.47am local time (3.47pm yesterday AEDT).
Williamson, one of Canberra’s most successful mountain biking exports and a respected cycling journalist, was competing in a two-man team with Lewis, co-sponsored by Enduro magazine, of which he was editor, and Canberra design company Swell.
