for the outsider inside of you
On a morning that social media is awash with reaction to photos of three morons in Zambia with their trophy leopard kills, take a moment to look at these beautiful specimens! It warms my heart to know that we have people doing some outstanding work here in South Africa, and that they receive support from all over — in this case the very popular FNB Wines2Whales MTB events!
The organizers of the FNB Wines2Whales (W2W) Mountain Bike (MTB) events have continued their support of the Jonkershoek MTB Trail upgrade project by donating a team entry into the 2013 FNB W2W MTB Ride. The entry will be auctioned at a Trail Building evening in Stellenbosch on Wednesday, 10 July 2013.
It is with great enthusiasm and pride that the organizers of the Wines2Whales (W2W) Mountain Bike (MTB) Adventure and Race welcome First National Bank (FNB) as the new title sponsor of these much loved events.
Reports via Twitter of a cyclist attacked close to Rhodes Memorial as well as two people robbed at knifepoint at Vredehoek Quarry.

Details of another mugging on Table Mountain on the slopes of Devil’s Peak near to the King’s Blockhouse on 07 January 2013. I will keep this updated as the details become available.
I am finally full-swing back into training, running, cycling and swimming. In addition to all that I have started paddling in preparation for the 2013 Totalsports Challenge. It really helps that summer is finally here, even if it arrived with a south-easter for company.
I have from time-to-time seen MTB tyre-tracks on Table Mountain in places where I am pretty certain no cycling is allowed. I don’t think we can deny that mountain biking causes considerable damage to trails, and I think it’s important that this is controlled. Even areas set aside for bikes, such as Tokai, need to be carefully monitored to ensure that erosion does not become too severe.
