They came, they saw, they climbed

Hogs reach the summit, 25km up and 25km back!

Where is Karl Richard?

can you spot him?

Karl Richard, rookie Hog rider, pioneer of 2 Knob Hill and part time accountant has been noticeably absent from rides of late.
A quick Google and it appears the internet is rife with rumours on Mr Richard’s whereabouts.

“Richards’ spotted high altitude training in Kathmandu” – CyclingNews.com
“Karl kranks up the kilometres in secret altitude training camp” – Mountain Bike Magazine
“Karl Richards wows accounting world at annual SARS seminar in Polokwane” – Sars.gov.za

A close Hog insider revealed a little bit more:
“I used to ride quite a bit with Karl, we were actually the first Hogs to ride 2 Knob Hill and it was of course named in our honour… yes Karl and I plan to race the Mfula this year, I can only hope wherever he is, he gets some good training in cos I am getting strong!”

Whatever rumour you believe, there is no denying that the Hogs rides are certainly duller without Karl Richard, there are less wipeouts for a start!

Sani training session – Giba

Giba Heaven

Ok boys, for those doing the Hogs Sani Challenge at the end of the month:

Sani Training Session, Giba Gorge, Saturday 5:30am.

Wayne has agreed to take us up and out of Giba, into Shongweni, down some great river valleys and back via cucumber farm then onto vomit hill and a few other surprises thrown in for good measure!

We are looking at lots of climbing and some technical single track for good measure.

All followed by a good breakfast at 9am and then WAGs ride.

No excuses Dac!

This guy is incredible…

The Ice Age Cometh

Happy 40th birthday IceMan, may age slow you down a bit so we all have a chance on the hills!
