Busy month for cycle holidays!

It's the last day of November and it's been a great month of cycling around Cape Town with some great new guests.We started off the month with a few short mountain biking trips near Greyton. The first days of summer were felt by all and the riding was pretty fantastic as well, especially on the new full suspension bikes we were using! Steve and Kitt noted how similar the region looked to the Pyrenees (except that we get the luxury of riding in these mountains all year round!). We cruised through some great sections of singletrack that will soon be extended and linked up during the next year to include even more trails. I must apologise to the group about that last big climb though- 7km with some 18% grade sections! Well done for surviving!

Featured rider: Roan Exelby

Roan has been riding and racing bikes for a very long time. I remember that back in the early 90's he had a weird looking Pacific bike. It was purple and rigid yet had a Y frame for some reason. Then I think he had the first 'dual susser' I had ever seen-a Proflex with flex stem and an elastomer on the rear seatstay.

Anyway, since those days he has been riding and racing and earning his due as one of THE characters of the sport, as well as earning repsect as one of the hardest blokes on the planet. He has so many accolades I wouldn't know where to start (How about 3rd place World MTB marathon champs, and 3rd overall place 24Hours of Moab? PRIVATEER!). With these results and much more, Roan still just gets on with it making sure he's having fun on his bike. Shouldn't we all be following his example?

He answered a few questions for us:-
