Mountain Biking

Mountains, forests, mud, rivers, rocks, trails and dirt roads... the best way to explore our beautiful country has got to be on a mountain bike!

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this is an awesome race; you either love, or hate it.  I was hating it a bit at times this past weekend though, but all in all, I came home loving it.  I've done every L2L since 2006, except for...
SANParks have been working on a plan to upgrade the Tokai Manor House precinct, and at last make proper use of the buildings in that area.  This week they had an open day to share the proposals with the public and ask for feedback. Mike and I...
Mike struggled this year, to find something other than socks and bum cream to give me for Xmas.  So he did something different: an entry for the Garden Route 300.  Now that I'll unwrap, thanks! :) And it's a team event, so we'll be riding...
After 5yrs of a wonderful friendship, I am about to say goodbye to my old faithful: Giant NRS1.  We've been through so much together - 3 Epics, to begin with - not to mention how many times we've been up to Uniondale and back, across the beach...
For the past couple of years, a small group of us have cycled from Knysna up to Uniondale as a 'warm up' for Karoo 2 Coast.  We figure that if you're gonig to make the pilgrimage all the way from Cape Town to Knysna, you may as well make the...

Brutal.55km, in two loops (not laps), that brings you through the start/finsh area just after the halfway mark.The first loop takes you South of the Country Club through all the singletrack, not much climbing, lots of sand, lots of rocks.  The...
We all love Trevor Ball's events: They're fun, action packed, often in adverse weather conditions, and if you're still awake at the end of the day, you've got a good chance of walking away with a prize.The Mast Challenge: Man vs Machine.  Will...
After my 2009 Cape Epic I was admitted to the select group of mad people called the "Amabubesi".  It's the Zulu name for "Pride of Lions".  And we're a proud bunch for having completed 3 or more Cape Epics.Every year on race registration...
Tomorrow, Friday 28th May, we'll be heading up to the Mast for our Full Moon ride. Have a feeling that we might not be seeing much of the Full Moon or the sunrise, but I'll definitely be taking some Hot Chocolate, the way the weather reports are...
