15 km spin out to Boca, 40km road race, and 15km spin home. Sounded manageable. But it became one of the biggest fights I’ve survived. A battle royal against the coldest cold. Eish. Once I realised I was in trouble, what could I do? No where to go, no phone to call on, no option but to hit the race as hard I could and race home even harder.
As mentioned I decided to do a shoot for my sponsors so as to create an opportunity for them to use in print media, as well as for my personal needs as well. Jacques Marais (home) did me a favour a joined me for a morning in and around Stellenbosch. Although I’m yet to see all, and see anything in proper res, Jacques sent me a taste from his gifted lense.

Have a look at this website with great photo’s of the insane mountain bike ride I did today. Mind blowing single track – something like 3hours of it. My concentration was shot, as it just kept coming and coming and demanding more and more. I am without broken bones, so this mtb ride went significantly better than my last in the USA.
