Sports Illustrated Article – February 2009

January 30th, 2009 by Dan Hugo

A small coup for all involved – the Dream Givers, supporters, blog readers, training partners, and multisport peers. Many thanks to all, including Angus for the stellar article. Am so properly grateful for this, the most significant media to date. Please find a copy, on shelves from this weekend.

More than tire testing…

More time in the ‘office’ up in Jonkershoek. Before showing Burry and James a Maties tradition.

Stop starting in Jonkershoek

January 29th, 2009 by Dan Hugo

Spent all day in Jonkershoek, taking various tires around a set course, figuring different attributes of each, and valuing that against a test tire. Will be back out and about tomorrow, learning that there is a lot more than meets the eye…


Created with Admarket’s flickrSLiDR.

In short: Christoph Sauser, Burry Stander, Lene Byberg, Conrad Stoltz and myself ride. Stolts and I on a different trail in Jonkershoek. Benno and Dylan change the tires for us, with the aid of a compressor run off a generator. Bobby Behan keeps all heading in the right direction, including media in attendance. Songo and a few kids from Kayamandi join for a small bit of riding late in the day.

Will do more reporting when less smoked tomorrow.
