A rather Different Kremetart

[The Guy in Pink]

Cycling enthusiast David Kleynhans will be riding the Kremetart this year for the second time ; he did a few years ago in 2004 .

David does the Kremetart somewhat differently from most other riders, he will ride from his home to the event , ride the event and ride back home again after the event.

Many of our local riders will do the same, but David does not live in Louis Trichardt or even one of our neighbouring towns. What makes David’s Kremetart different is he that lives in Cape town .

He will ride from Cape town to Louis Trichardt in 7 Days, rest in Louis Trichardt on Friday 3rd June , ride the Kremetart on Saturday and set off for Cape town on Sunday morning , planning to arrive in Cape town on Saturday 11th June.

The total distance of his epic journey will be 4000 km in a period just 16 days . In the average riding day he will cover 270km and his longest distance covered in a day will be in the Karoo from Winburg to Colesburg a distance of 330km – tackling it in both directions.

His easiest day’s riding will actually be the Kremetart One day Stage Race itself, only 175km !

David devotes a lot of time and effort in raising funds for charity , specifically for the aged. This ride will be dedicated to raising funds for our Louis Trichardt old aged home “ Ons Tuiste”

His previous Fund raising rides include completing the Argus Tour three times in a single day during the 2004 Argus, and four times during this year’s Argus – an amazing 440km during a single day.

To cyclists who frequent the online cycling forum The Hub www.thehubsa.co.za David is a well known figure who uses the Hub name of ‘F_R_A_I_L’ as he pesters them for donations and support for his ventures.

Once again he has asked cyclists to support him and they have responded by coming to the fore in supporting him.

On the way he will act as a “Postie” delivering postcards for forum members, and members have taken raffle tickets and sponsorships for him.

He will be accommodated overnight by cyclists along the way, and spend the week-end in Louis Trichardt with a family of cyclists.

If you are traveling and see a lonely figure on a bike, give him a toot or stop for a chat , and if you want to help David in his venture and fund raisings you can contact him on Cell +27 71 406 7007 , Face book FRAIL.Cycling or Twitter F_R_A_I_L

The Louis Trichardt old aged Home “Ons Tuiste” needs his and your support.
