Sani2c.... better late than never!

In May, it was time for the 10th annual Sani2c multi-day race from the Drakensberg mountains (Sani) through 270 km of amazing countryside to the sea. This ride is partly sponsored by the Cat dealer (Barloworld) and has been ridden by certain members of the Cat MTB team over the years. This was my turn for my first ride. Although I don't have many pictures, I encourage you guys to consider this as an option before the summer season in Europe. It's a lot of fun and quite a good test of your fitness. Happy to help make arrangements for anyone interested. Cmon and play in SA.
