    So what are you up to training wise this week? Some climbing? Intervals? Or tapering your ass off? I was planning to ride a 2h session on Wednesday and Thursday and maybe focus some more on stretching every day. Nothing on Friday and Saturday though. What are your plans?

    In 2004 a little stage race at the tip of Africa started as a ripple in the mountain biking pond. A few adventurous souls took up the challenge. That year Hanlie Booyens won it with Sharon Laws and Bryan Strauss came 2nd in the master category. His daughter (Mariske) was 13 and rode around the campsite on her little bike. Wide eyed... an energetic bundle of excitement! Click here to view the article
