When last did you experience adventure?

Here's an interesting definition of adventure by Colin Mortlock- apologies to the girls for all the "he's"-it applies to every human out there!

"This is the stage beyond, and often just beyond, the skills learning stage. The person has sudden fear of physical harm and no longer feels complete master of the situation. He feels, however, that he can, with considerable effort on his part, and given luck, overcome the situation without accident.

He accepts that his skills are about to be tested. He is conscious of a definite degree of uncertainty as to the outcome, and feels, as it were, poised on a knife edge between success and failure. I he succeeds, he has experienced adventure.

He has found himself in a situation which becomes firmly etched upon his mind -perhaps forever. He has feelings of satisfaction, if not elation, about the result. The degree of satisfaction and pride is proportional to the scale and intensity of the adventure."

Join us on one of our adventures at iRide Africa. It's not all fear and adrenalin but it'll certainly get you elated and satisfied!

The perfect winter

Not too much to say really, amazing weather, amazing people, amazing amounts of laziness!

New Morewood XC prototype

Drooooool!
Here are some spy photos of the new Morewood cross country racing machine which is being tested on South African race courses at the moment. Roan Exelby says it goes like stink and has really given his battered body a rest on the new, more technical courses popping up around the country.

Big up to Roan for getting accepted to race at World Champs in Canberra, Australia later this year. Make us proud man!
