This is a moment I’ll never forget, and one I hope Elliot will never forget either. He’d ridden about 18km by this point but the hill to the first food stop was taking its toll. Somehow @stanengelbrecht arrived at just the right moment to capture all the emotion. The presence of the @eroica.cc official photographer gave Ellie the confidence kick he needed and he jumped back on his bike and pedalled like mad. Until Stan disappeared up ahead and the tears started flowing again 🤣 I’ll remind Elliot about this in a few years’ time when he’s hammering me up a climb...

Thanks to @stanengelbrecht and @eroica.cc for a superb day in the dust around Montagu. Elliot managed nearly 20km (age 8) and @tinkminster nearly 60km (age 71). In between, there were river swims and trout sandwiches. The best.

Thank you for the most incredible 12 years. I honestly don’t know where the time has gone. What’s that old saying again?

The contradiction of it all. Dolphins in False Bay yesterday with devastation on the horizon.

Cousins in windswept Witsand last weekend. Thanks Blumfam.

29x2.3 tyres on the gravel bike. Yes please.

Kirstenbosch. How unbelievable that such a place exists in the middle of a city.

@blumfam white Christmas ⛄️

Last day of school, last Friday. What legends.

Congratulations Dr and Dr! Thank you for a beautiful wedding

Happy birthday Elliot. It’s so cool being your dad 😎

People of the pan 🙃

I’ve been testing the @killat_gear Kota Moon and New Moon bags for the past week. This is the New Moon, an awesome little hip bag or sling bag big enough for a wallet, phone, mask and house keys. It has a padded back so it’s comfy to wear, whether hiking or mountain biking. It hardly bounces around at all. The cleverest thing is the strap: There’s one super short side and one really long side, which doubles back on itself and is held in place by a sliding buckle. This way you don’t end up with metres of strap that you have to tuck somewhere when you go from sling bag (extended) to hip bag (doubled back). No other moon bag I’ve used does this as neatly. And it’s designed and made right here in 🇿🇦 Nice one Dane 🌘
