And plodded through ankle-deep piles of oak leaves around our tents. Our headlamps picked up the yellows and browns of the fallen autumn leaves. Another stunning dawn was breaking in the Underberg.

joBerg2C: Day 4 – Burying myself for singletrack Sterkfontein Dam to Winterton After a night of sleeping in the sprint position so I could wake up every hour and run to the portaloos, I started today feeling understandably anxious. The prospect of 122km with the squirts wasn’t filling me with my usual enthusiasm for a day on the bike.

The first 115km stage of the race is traditionally a ‘neutral’ stage, where your time doesn’t count for much and the emphasis is on cruising out of Gauteng and experiencing Free State hospitality up close.

joBerg2C: Day 0 drama Sea Point to Johannesburg Yesterday (Thursday) was awesome. On so many levels. And we didn’t even step on a pedal. It was a transit day. Where Andrew and I started our trek to Jozi for the start of the 9-day Old Mutual Joberg2C. Day 0.

Only this time I’ve got to bring everything except my riding kit. What? Yes, true to form my Old Mutual JoBerg2C partner Andrew and I have left a few things to the last minute. One of them is our apparel. A rather essential part of a 9-day cycling expedition. According to Andrew it’s all under control, dude. And awaits us at the start in Johannesburg… Posted by Nic Lamond on Aug 21 2012 - 6:10pm 0 comments read more >>
Stop – think before you pedal I’m often amazed at how I get out of precarious situations on the bike.

We ventured out into nature and stumbled upon little treasures; we found fresh food, moments, memories and an all round good time with good friends. The best part is we didn’t find joy at the extreme expense of nature…we actually found it alongside nature. This little video was born out of the spirit of spontaneity and the result was a good time with good food. Posted by Mike on Jun 18 2012 - 11:16pm 0 comments read more >>
