In January, I was seeking a new challenge. So I entered my dad and myself into Race to the sun, which is a 100-mile gravel and mountain bike journey from Hartbeespoort Dam to Sun City.
And this race did not disappoint - What an epic day out and completely the longest ride I have even done on a bicycle, and finishing it with my dad by my side was the cherry on the top.
The past couple of months, we have put in the hard work and milage in the legs with the help of my coach,
The first half of the race for me was brutal, struggling to keep up with my dad. However, after 100km, my body came alive, and the last 60km was absolutely epic, loving every km.
Thank you to my sis and for all your support waiting for us at the halfway point and finish. I know it was a long day out and really appreciate the shouts as we came in, which gave us the boost to cross the finish line with smiles.
