    A history lesson

    We were scattered all over the Stormberg today. Dr Rudi de Wet (who was the race doc for Freedom Challenge) rode with us and was a massive store of knowledge on the Boer War battles in 1900. We checked out the blockhouses and graves for British soldiers killed in an ambush.

    The riding was pretty easy and the views were stunning. Groves of poplar trees were donning their autumn colours and the veld was green and lush. I split off from the group to head back a different way with Rudi and was treated to a panorama from the Stormberg around to De Rust farm all the way to Aasvoelberg. Then a 10km descent to Molteno with a tailwind rounded off an 80km day. Brilliant!

  • Santacruzrulz's Space

    I host two cycling stage races - road and mountain bike - and I have just added a third event - The Alchemy Trail.. I like to tour rather than race and I crave wide open spaces. I completed the 2300km Race Across South Africa in June 2009 which inspired blogging. I don't do well without a goal of sorts and that keeps me outdoors.

    While this seems primarily a cycling blog, I'm interested in much, much more. There's more on trail running, novel writing and anything else that catches my interest.
