I entered the Absa Cape Epic...
I am passionate about mountain biking. Not only is the exercise great, but it helps me clear my mind and to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life and to spend time in nature. It allows you to remain competitive despite your age as the local races are set up on the basis that you compete in your age category. It has also been a life-long dream for me to participate and complete the Cape Epic.

Best Results:
Various mult stage races. Undoubtedly Finishing the 2013 and 2014 Cape Epic

Why Riding: I am passionate about raising funds for charity and particular charities which strives to improve the lives of youth of South Africa. I ride for Qhubeka because I believe in a future where every person is given the chance to progress and move forward in life. Qhubeka is a registered fund raising, not for profit organization (NPO) which helps rural communities in South Africa move forward and progress by giving bicycles to people in return for work done to improve their environment and their community. Money raised for Qhubeka goes to putting children on bicycles which in turn increases school attendance and marks, makes children feel safer commuting to school and decreases the amount of time traveling to and from school.
