Kyamandi-Songo World Champs (unofficial)

[Wyatt Earp]

So I was fortunate enough to be out in Stellenbosch with the launch of Specialized.

Yesterday we were carted of to Kyamandi to watch some of the worlds best put on an exhibition race for the kids and the people of Kyamandi.

This is Sauser's passion and his baby, what a day and how awesome to see these riders committing to doing this event.

Not often a kid will get this close to these riders.

Great stuff, Burry & Christoph and other stakeholders.

 

How cool are those images of the course moving amidst the homes of Kayamandi.
