It was so beautiful, you criss cross in and out of France and Switzerland, catching chair lifts up and down everywhere, dodging cows and thunder storms and with some 800+ km’s of trails, you will never find yourself on the same trail twice.

I can’t, and think even the kids were in a bit of shock about what they were able to experience of the course of this incredible week together. (more…)

In addition Anka racing the Cape Epic, the two took some time to go out on a mountain bike safari, and to visit with family and friends. While there, Sven got the brothers Neethling (Andrew and Jonty) to take a few runs on the local trails with our camera gear. Check out the trails and listen to some friendly brotherly banter as the two rip some local spots. There are a few videos, so be sure to check them all out. Thanks go out to Sven, Andrew and Jonty. Nice riding guys!
