Scott Addict R3 Full-carbon Road Bike

David — Sat, 28 Jan 2012 05:54:22 +0000

When I set out on my journey a few years ago to regain my fitness, my hope was that I would one day be able to take part in triathlons again, despite my surgeon telling me I would never take part in sport competitively again. So far so good, and so I set out to remove the final obstacle in my path: no road-bike. I settled on this Scott Addict R3 full carbon road-bike. [...]

Tabard Insect Repellent

Forgetting to pack the insect repellent for a camping trip is a big fail! It's one of the very small details that can ensure a good night's sleep outdoors. The original Tabard, the Tabard Stick, is renowned for its ability to repel all kinds of insects, including the most aggravating of them all: the mosquito. [...]

Bell Slant Helmet

Whilst I do not consider myself accident-prone, I have been concussed enough times that it is would now dangerous for it to happen again: the last concussion landed me unconscious in hospital for 12 hours with no memory of the accident. So when I picked up my new cannondale SL2 29er there was no way I was leaving the store without a helmet on my head! [...]

My CAPESTORM Redhill Marathon 2012

David — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 17:31:43 +0000

A last-minute decision to enter the much talked about CAPESTORM Redhill Marathon saw me driving through to Fish Hoek Athletics Club pre-dawn Saturday morning for a last-minute entry. The race turned out to be a bit of a Tweet-Up, and I got to meet some Tweeps in person for the first time… [...]

Island Tribe Clear Gel Sun Protection

David — Fri, 20 Jan 2012 16:41:37 +0000

I spend a LOT of time out under the sun. You will never see me actually lying around tanning (what’s with that anyway — skin cancer anyone?), but the hours of hiking, trail running, swimming, climbing and mountain biking add up. Enter Island Tribe Clear Gel Sun Protection.

As soon as you squeeze [...]
