Howzit all I ride MTB every morning: 70 percent offroad from Westdene along the Montgomery Spruit etc ... turnaround at Conrad Drive. Easy pace. Anyone want to come along? Leave at seven or eight am. Two hours (at my leisurely pace). I start work at ten in the morning.

I remember riding out to the Lido in the 90s early one morning with my cycling bud, Dionn. We were doing the pro's 120km circuit when we came up on Alan riding with one of his team mates. He was obviously recovering from the weekend's racing. What a gent. We rode silently with him, in awe, along the mist covered roads that pointed, purposefully through the haze. It's a special memory of a real gentleman, a good businessman and a spectacularly capable athlete. RIP Alan van Heerden.
