One week before exams start i decided to invite my best friend Carmen from hostle at my school to come and stay the weekend so that we could do some studying. I also told her to bring her bicycle because we were going to do EDCC in Durban on the Sunday. There were losts of distances to choose from but i chose the 100km because i would benefit from it and Carmen wabted to try a 100km's on a bicycle as she is an 400m sprint athlete.
This was the second friend that i have invited to do a race and my plan is slowly on working. I am inviting friends to do a race and also see what preparation goes into it before the race. They are learning a lot and slowly on getting into this wonderful sport of cycling even if they aren't racing but just going out for a nice ride. Unfortunately my other friend, Marnus, broke his thumb whilst out riding a week after he did the Amashova Cycle Race and also can write exams now.
I just started with exams and the Durban EDCC was just perfect to clear my mind from the exams.
Till next time

News for 2013
I'd like to share with you that I have signed a new contract for the 2013 season. I will be riding for Team VELO-Life next year on a BMC or Bergamont bicycle. I am really excited for this and really thankful for this opportunity!
I will be focussing a lot on XCO(cross country) racing next year and also doing a lot more road racing with my biggest race being World Champs in August also because it is in my home town. The national XCO races are key for the selection of World Champs.
This year(2012) didn't go as i dreamed or planned it would. I had lots of ups and downs, but learnt a lot. I was at a point where I basically quite the scene of cycling and then started again. I also didn't have the results I planned for and kept on loosing form. But in that time I thought that I had quite, I made a lot of decisions and choices about what I want to do with my life and sporting career in the future. I am fully back in cycling and really looking ahead to a bright new year!
Thank you for all the support and motivation! Also to Johann Wykerd my coach & my parents for helping me.
