A serious crash.
A teammate forced to withdraw.
Mechanical issues. Moments where giving up would have been the easier option.

For Travis, one of the toughest stages wasn't about racing. It was about making a choice to keep going.
First alongside Rentia, then with Mhlengi, the goal became simple: one pedal stroke at a time.

As an amputee, he has learned that things don't always go to plan. But if you keep showing up, keep pushing forward, and keep putting one foot in front of the other, you'll get to the finish line.
Sometimes the biggest victory is just refusing to stop!

Every recovery journey is different, and so is the support each person needs.Recovery after an amputation is rarely something you navigate entirely on your own.

Sometimes support is practical.
Sometimes it’s professional.
And sometimes it’s simply having someone who listens, understands and reminds you that you don’t have to have everything figured out at once.

Who made a difference during your amputation or prosthetic journey? Your answer might be exactly what someone earlier in their journey needs to hear.

The toughest climbs aren’t always the ones you can see. 🚵‍♂️
In Part 2 of our conversation with Izak Rust, we explore the connection between the physical and the mental — and what it takes to keep moving when the challenge goes beyond the trail.

Living with limb loss, pushing physical boundaries and taking on something as demanding as the Absa Cape Epic isn’t only about what the body can do. There’s a mindset behind every climb, every setback and every decision to keep going.

🎥 Watch Part 2 to hear Izak’s perspective.

What does it take to tackle an EPIC when you’re doing it with a prosthesis? 🚵‍♂️
For Travis Warwick-Oliver, the challenge goes far beyond the bike. He and Mhlengi Gwala, adapted when things didn't go to plan, they trusted their prosthetic legs and their bodies — and refused to let limb loss define where adventure could take them.

As more athletes living with limb loss take on endurance challenges, stories like Travis and Mhlengi's are helping expand the picture of what participation can look like.

🎥 Hear Travis’s perspective — and stay tuned as we share more from the amputee community.
