What an incredible day at the @pedal_power_associa What an incredible day at the @pedal_power_association Funride in the Boland. Stunning Western Cape scenery, perfect weather, and top-notch organization made it a ride to remember.
Born as a Lotus Exige, reborn with a Ferrari V8 he Born as a Lotus Exige, reborn with a Ferrari V8 heart. Still not enough? Add twin turbos and wild aero. It screamed past me at 250kph, just a meter away... a violent rush of brain flood! These were shot at 1/80s, naively thinking I could pan with the car when all I could manage was a startled scream. #CarPhotography #SpeedDemon #LotusExige #FerrariV8 #TwinTurbo

This image was taken at the #bloukliptrailrun in Stellenbosch, and if natural beauty and views forever are your thing, then it's an event that you really should have on your calendar.

60mm of rain turned the route to rivers the day be 60mm of rain turned the route to rivers the day before—then race morning arrived cool, crisp, and ideal. Golden Gate Highlands National Park showed off in moody perfection: riders winding through golden grasslands, weaving beneath sandstone cliffs, pushing over steep climbs. Light, landscape, and raw effort in perfect sync. A photographer’s dream. #MalutiDouble90
The 42km route of the Cape Town Cycle Tour is not The 42km route of the Cape Town Cycle Tour is not about speed. 

It’s about starting a cycling career, or even resuming one. It’s about community, fun, and ‘the vibe’. It’s about growing the sport of cycling and giving people the motivation to perhaps step up to the longer version of the tour—but only if they want to. No pressure, no pointing fingers. Not here.

No one really cares who is first across the finish line of the 42km tour, except the person who was, and that’s what makes it so joyous.

After this, the third iteration of the 42km cycle tour, I think we can call the concept a massive success.
