Anke Erlank...need I say more

Absolute Iron lady that, I think 6th overall at the Crater Cruise one year and a multiple Xterra champ before she came back here and cleaned up on every terrain. She's Anke Moore now though of course...

Conrad Scholtz, 6 (or is it 7) times world champion xtriathlon (kick LA's but as well)

The koekemoer family (Attie, dad mom and the rest at Ride Mag- that includes Adel Tait)

Jaco Strydom, (RIP) who planned and road many cycling adventures, for making cycle tourism possible

Barry McCallum, (Tumbleweed) for being himself- legend (His sidekick Stockton (RIP))

Grant Usher for being Mr Single speed, and getting the movement rolling

Labuschagne brothers - Johan and David are real gentlemen.

The big fella in your avatar most probably thinks you're a legend and a hero. :thumbup:

That big guy makes my heart melt. So hard to say "no" when those big brown eyes look at you... If I can be the person my dog thinks I am I guess I'll be ok.
