So when you live in Jozi, love adventure and have 45 days (and counting until Southern Storm) how do you possibly get the time and training in?  You get togehter with your mates and you ship off to Clarens for the weekend.

Day 1: 36 odd kms, a Puff adder and some serious ascents …

Day 2. Destiny Castle and union Trials (http://www.destinycastle.co.za/) – I have never seen anything so amazing and beautiful. At the top of the mountains on the Lesotho border post … WOW. 28kms of the best riding i have ever done. EVER!

Day 3. With only two o us left and the butt starting to take some strain. we hit it again. Another 40kms. Nothing compared to day 1 and nowhere even close to day 2.
