Ok so we have done it again!! Entered the Magical Untamed ABSA Cape Epic for 2010 in South AFrica. Team Susan Deacon Properties have made our entry today and now looking forward to 2010. Some training and racing to get us in top shape and form for next year's race. My Team mate (Jason Eldridge) also now an Amabubezi member after finishing his 3rd one and I going for my 6th one next year will keep you posted on our preperation and training for next year. We really start more focussed training December, but going to do plenty of racing towards the end of the year. That is how my team mate likes it. Racing and going hard.
Our first race together as team after the 2009 Cape Epic will be the Transbaviaans 24 hour race from Willowmore to Jeffreys Bay in the Eatern Cape, South Africa. 230km in one day. The worlds longest 1 day mountain bike race.

I will do an update towards the Transbaviaans race in 2 weeks time again.
This is my S Works with the new custom built DT Swiss white wheels to pimp my ride.
My first MTB race. Amazing Experience! 280 kilometres (175 miles) all off road. Loads of single track, forests, spectacular views and great riding.

A great trip to Cape Town, South Africa to participate in the Cape Argus / Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour 2009. This is the largest timed bike race in the world, with nearly 40,000 riders taking part. This year, a southeastern wind rolled in and made it the toughest tour in the event's 30-year history. The wind got up to 65 km/h during the race, and slowed times dramatically, especially during the first half, which was all into the wind. On the way back, the wind was coming down the side of the mountain and slowing what should have been 60+ km/h rides downhill into hard pedalling to maintain 25 km/h. A fantasically organized and run event. We are already planning for next year's trip, with the race on March 14, 2010.
