Best Results:
2014 Wines2Whales - first race with Werner and we really pushed the levels in this race. Competing against the worlds best gave us a good understanding of competitive MTB! Didn't quite make the top 10 in our category but know what we need to do! Train hard and have a bit of luck!
2014 Burry Stander XCO - first time competing in XCO - came 4th in province! Needed to replace a lung after each race. Boy XCO is tough! I bet Absa Cape Epic will be tough on a new level!
3 Towers - came 7th in our category! Good race - awesome climbing! Partner didn't feel that way but kudos to his toughness!

I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
Personal Goal - "bucket list"

Best Results:
2014 was esentially my first full MTB race season. I would clasify the entire 2014 as a highlight. Firstly managing to obtain an entry into the illastrious ABSA Cape Epic and secondly achieving a seeding index of mid 20's
