This is going to be a fun year of cycling for me. The first half of the year will be made up of hard training and racing, while the second half will be exploring other places in the world on my bike. For

I've had this pair of Vibram Five Finger Shoes for over two years now. I think they are a great pair of shoes to wear, but you have to be smart about using them for training. Vibrams are marketed as a

For my last day in Plett I had to go ride up Bloukrans Pass! It is a beautiful climb up the mountain, with very few cars on the road. The pass is technically closed but people still cycle and drive there.

I'm so happy we got to do this hike before we leave Plett in two days! It was a boiling hot day out, but a slight breeze made things easier. The hiking route is a very scenic and challenging 11km. We did

I decided to get the tires of my Giant TCR dirty again, and went cycling up Plettenberg Bay Dirt Climb. The climb is pretty short, at around 3km, but starts off super steep! The first 400m is at an average

It is the start of 2018 and many people are making their New Years Resolutions. As per usual diet is always a hot topic of choice, with many wanting to loose weight and get healthier. I was inspired by

Eating vegan does not have to be hard, in fact it should be easier to prepare vegan food than having to cook meat. I think the reason people believe otherwise is because of the unrealistic vegan food pics

I have done some amazing climbs since I bought my road bike a year and a half ago. In Thailand I went on so many awesome rides and did climbs that are harder than I ever could have imagined. I think Thailand

I did a post last week after going to eat at Bocca Dolce Vegan Restaurant, here in Plett. They are a 100% vegan restaurant with an 'all you can eat' buffet option. I strongly recommend it to anyone who

It has been a good year of riding and I feel as though I've gained a lot of experience. I only started riding a bike in July of 2016 so technically I am still a noob. I would say everyone is a noob during

I'm back on the bike! It feels so good to be riding again. This week I did less cycling than any other week in the past year and a half. I had the flu and was man down. It is my own fault, as early last

Today me and my family decided to do a hiking trail at Nature's Valley. I did this hike two years ago and remember it has being a very scenic and slightly challenging route. Two years ago though I went

The majority of tourist only visit the south of Thailand, namely Phuket and the islands. I think they are missing out big time! There are some great things to see and do in the North, which I will share

I spent six months in Thailand recently and will be going back in May of next year. A big question people have is how expensive it is there in terms of rent, food, transport etc. I thought I would clear

I mentioned in my last post that as a kid I used to battle with chronic asthma. I wanted to talk more about that now and explain how I overcame it, so that others hopefully can also. My asthma was so bad

Hey, Steemit! So I have been on this platform for around a week now and I thought it is about time for a short 'indroduceyourself' post. I am a road cyclist from South Africa. Last year I decided I have

Today we went to 'Wreck' Beach here in Plettenberg Bay. One of the less busy beaches in the area for one particular reason...SHARKS. The beach has become famous for the amount of Shark spotting's. There

Running form has been a hot topic of debate in recent years. One which the marketing team behind Vibram Five Fingers ("barefoot shoes") have played a big part in. If you run in a group you might

It sounds funny, but I used to heavily promote Altra shoes to all the runners in my life even before I started running in them. The reason was that Altra had supported a lot of runners in the vegan community

I have been running in a pair of Vibrams for over two years now and it is a great shoe to use and alternate with another pair of trainers. They are also very comfortable to walk in. Although these shoes
