Have a good 2022!!!!

He went thru a tough time but things are looking up! Enjoy PA, one of my favourite destinations. 

Have a great 2022, maybe see you at the races again....

Haterz you can order the book now and read while you weep. 

WIMPIE – the best kept secret describes the highlights of the sports career of a South African, spanning over four decades and in four sports disciplines. Wimpie van der Merwe had to overcome obstacles to compete internationally during the years of sports isolation imposed on SA for 32 years due to the policy of apartheid of the SA government. Keeping a low profile to avoid being blacklisted for circumventing the sports boycott caused that few know about his achievements. He discloses unknown facts of what happened behind the scenes to create opportunities to compete internationally, to circumvent the boycott and reach the pinnacle of his sport. Overcoming the odds is a prerequisite for any person to succeed.

The book is incredible. Yes, might not have been the easiest person to encounter on the bike. But he worked for what he achieved. He is an incredible human being. For me, he remains a cycling Legend. One of the TOP cyclists in SA... Well done oom!!
