I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
I love a challenge. I push myself to the limit and then set myself other goals. It keeps me on my toes and feeds this desire to always better myself in ways I would never thought possible.

Best Results:
Rediscovering a bicycle. This with no reference to the rediscovering of a wheel which is round. I soon realised this when coming down the farm road and discovered that the breaks did not work to good and a Hollywood stunt was the end of the story. Just that rush. This Journey will certainly be the Highlight.

Why Riding: Well this question is like an onion with layers and at the end your eyes will tear up. This not from the onion but from real life stories and the feeling you get when you do not have words. I beleive in the future of South African Agriculture. Be beleive in the young kids of the Western Cape and South Africa. Each and everyone with the right tools and education to be exceptional LEADERS. Imagine a country run by leaders. We are riding for a charity that have the same goals as ourselves and know what it takes/needed to make a difference. Nelson Mandela said that the best leaders are not the ones walking in the front but guiding from the back. The Anna Foundation is doing exactly that. They are seen as leaders and a organiztion that needs more recognition. I challenge each and everyone reading this to take time and just look around. STOP look at the young child running alongside the road or playing in the dust. Ever wondered what, where and when this child would be in five minutes or even five years from now? Changes and to adapt is long overdue and these kids needs guidance. Now the question is why do I ride for this charity? Well the answer is simple: To contribute to change and be part of a different(better) future.
