Kitchen Table to Kitchen Table Adventuring
Adventures of an Ordinary Cyclist Mar 14, 2018 | 09:24 am
Today the second of 7 batches of Race to Cradock riders hit the road. I'm happy to announce that I'm in the line up once again—I'll be sweeping in Batch 7.The Freedom Challenge events are special. In conversation with Julia Fisher (accomplished adventure racer and Blanket Wearer) I asked her what she understood to be the unique aspect of the Freedom Trail. She encapsulated it in one short sentence, "They are the only events that go from kitchen table to kitchen table."That's a profound summary. There's an implied intimacy—our kitchen tables are the space we share with our friends. In[…]

Knickers, underpants, scants, undies, panties - call them what you will. They are as integral a part of our lives as are shoes or a toothbrush. But that is not everyone's reality.While chatting to my niece who is busy with her degree in social work she told me about knickerless kids. While doing community work at a government children's clinic she heard that many of the children who attend these clinics have no underwear.It seems that we are the reason for this. No, we're not stealing them but we are tossing them in the trash.While happy to bundle our kids[…]
2017 WHERE DID YOU GO! HELLO 2018!
AFRIVENCE Jan 8, 2018 | 19:15 pm
Hello there 2018! I'm back!WOW! can you believe 2017 has come and gone, and I almost went into total hibernation as far as postings are concerned. Six months it has been.All has been well though in between the struggles of juggling business, work, family and my passion of riding my bike out into remote places and being a 'serial phone cam" photographer. My goal for 2018 is to be a lot more involved and active, especially with my blog Afrivence, and a little more detailed on what I get up to. As far as some challenges are concerned, looking at some[…]

The third edition of the Munga came and went and I added a third medal to my Munga collection. My race went well but given my race pedigree over the the last few years my achievement was nothing worth writing about.If we want a remarkable Munga tale then we need to unwrap the story behind medal number 69. The story behind it is extraordinary.Laz Mashishi has worked with me for many years. His first bike was a BMX that he used to roll with the the 'bike gang' at school. They would ride around town and from the school to[…]
Die omswerwings en ervarings van 'n Freedom Challenger Jul 10, 2017 | 11:10 am
So sit ek bykans twee weke later en top oor die jaar se Challenge, my vinnigste tot op datum. Kyk vanjaar moes nie eers gewees het nie, as Handelaarshoof van Vredendal Toyota moet daar eers 'n paar goedjies in plek val en om 50+ mensies gelukkig te hou gebeur nie altyd so maklik nie, veral nie as jy in die voorafgaande maand 'n paar nuwe aanstellings maak nie. Die mensies moet mekaar eers vind en baie gelukkig is ek bevoorreg om 'n reg span mense saam met my te kan hê en het hulle mekaar gevind en baie goed presteer[…]
Die omswerwings en ervarings van 'n Freedom Challenger Jun 26, 2017 | 09:57 am
Die ander manne is vroeg op hulle wil 5H00 ry, Tim is nie lus om die heel dag met Stetteyns te stoei nie, safety in numbers soos hulle sê, ons is sewe en 'n paar gaan bosbrekers word, padmakers vir die ander. Theo het 'n roete oopgekap tot halfpad waar die moeilikheid begin. Ek wil alleen wees, ek wil alleen die laaste ervarings opslurp en alles in neem en ek talm, die ander manne val in die pad teen 5H00 en ek eers 'n half uur later so op my eentjie.Oppad na die damwal besin ek oor my roete, ek[…]
Die omswerwings en ervarings van 'n Freedom Challenger Jun 25, 2017 | 08:47 am
Net na een val ons weer in die pad Tim nog nie heel lekker nie, ek so ent voor hom, sy liggie so ent terug vol my, by die Touws rivier herenig ons weer en so ent aan is dit weer tyd vir my vir 'n visgraat maneuver, wat nou 'n heel irriterende beweging word, ek moet die enjin voer, maar sodra ek iets sensitief voer wat blykbaar omtrent alles is moet dit uit. Tim nogsteeds net met sy voorbriek is bietjie versigtig vir Oubergpas, dis weer 2.Moer koud en net voor die pas begin vat ek 'n vinnige catnap[…]
Die omswerwings en ervarings van 'n Freedom Challenger Jun 24, 2017 | 15:03 pm
Die nagrus was so lank ek droom ek's klaar en spring verward op toe my horlosie alarm afgaan, Gerhard het vir my 'n lekker koppie Boeretroos gemaak, toe ons by die ander manne kom slaap hulle nog heel snoesig, ons trek toe maar so bietjie later as die beplande 5H00 weg, eintlik goedso want dis 'n mooi deel van die aarde die. Met eerste lig kry ek die geleentheid om vir Gerhard die leer in daglig te kan wys, dis 'n steil klimmetjie wat ons so 45 minute neem tot bo, ook maar goedso want toe knak my kniee en[…]

Die omswerwings en ervarings van 'n Freedom Challenger Jun 23, 2017 | 14:36 pm
Ons word die oggend vroeg wakker met die manne wat langsaan om die Breakfast tafel skarrel, hulle het ook 'n lang nag in die reën beleef, en so ontmoed ons vir Bugs, Andrew, Gavin en Gerhard om die tafel. Ek het dit voorheen al baie beleef wanneer ons sogenaamde racing snake die manne vorentoe van laat spaander hulle asof ons melaats is of dalk meet hulle hulself teen ons kragte, maar dit gebeur gewoonlik dat die manne jaag tot by die volgende stop en dan rus, ander as ons wat aanhou en aanhou.Die manne doen ook hulle naam gestand en[…]
