It is quite simply the most fun week of mountain biking, in the world, and it amazes Erik Kleinhans every year that we’re so amazingly privileged that it all takes place right here in our Western Cape back garden. Our RECM team has a very good relationship with our bike […]
Sodra jy inspring met die harde Desember en Januarie se oefenweke, voel dit altyd asof die die eerste wedrenne en fiksheid ligjare weg is, skryf Erik Kleinhans, maar dit is ongelooflik hoe vining die tyd vlieg onder die invloed van ‘n paar weke se sweet en middagslapies. Voor jy weet, […]

Wanneer die wintermaande op die Kaap neersak, maak die Kleinhanse hulleself skaars en migreer saam met die swaeltjies na die warmer noorde! Dit is grootliks te danke aan die stiller marathonkalender in SA wat dit moontlik maak en dus die geleentheid gee vir ander wedren-uitdagings in Europa. Die Alpe is […]

When the winter months descend on the Cape the Kleinhans family migrate with the swallows to the warmer north. Its thanks in large to the quieter local racing calendar in our winter that their European racing excursions are possible. The Alps are home to the majority of races they enter, […]
