I have a real ally in the PR company covering quite a few of the races I do locally, and she’ll sneak my photo in where ever she can. Above is an Afrikaans Ladies Mag, with a small section promoting the Totalsports Challenge in Sun City on [...]

Ian Don Wauchope and Jeanie Bomford were crowned Jeep Msinsi Series Champions 07 earlier today after both athletes, racing for Team Land Rover Gear, won the series final 4th race at Albert Fall’s.

Not often I get to stand on the banks and watch a race unfold like this past weekend in Cradock at the 2007 Hansa Powerade Fish River Canoe Marathon.  I dare I say I was made for it, but then the Fish is arguably one of the most thrilling spectator events I can think of. Its posisble [...]
