Dear Friends, Family, Colleagues, and other random people…
As most of you know, next month I will be attempting to cycle 2,350km off-road from Pietermaritzburg to Cape Town as part of the Freedom Challenge mountain bike race. As part of my preparation for this adventure, I will be riding in the all-day Redhill Charity Challenge this Sunday.
The format is simple: start riding at sunrise, and do as many 29km laps from Simonstown, over Red Hill and back, as you can before sunset! The race is in aid of BEN (Bicycle Empowerment Network), which provides bicycles to the underprivileged to help them become more self sufficient. They do this by getting people to sponsor riders per lap that they do. To find out more about the event and pledge some cash go to: www.benbikes.org.za/charitychallenge/entrants.php. I would really appreciate it.

My goal is to do 6 laps / 174km. To make sure it’s good training for the Freedom Challenge, and not just your ordinary Sunday ride, I’m also going to add a few extas. Enter a mountain bike (rather than a road bike), an 8kg backpack, and a 160km mountain bike race the day before! To see why I've added these extras, go to www.freedomchallenge.org.za and see what the fuss is about.
If you are not busy on Sunday come and have a picnic along the route somewhere to support the event. (and watch me drag an 8kg bag of rocks up a hill!)
I’m sure I left plenty of people off the mailing list, so please fwd to anyone you want to or who might be interested.
Thanks and I hope to see you all there!
Zane
