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.

“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!
