Well it is actually the last stage that has been sponsored but it is the first sponsor that has jumped on board! Storsure didn’t hesitate to sponsor One Gear when approached and we are over the escarpment about it. Did you see what I did there? I changed the common phrase “over the moon” to escarpment as it’s the escarpment I am going to have to ride the BMX up in order to finish the One Gear challenge – I am very smart like that.

I did a photo shoot with Trigger Monkey the other day after being told that I should document everything along the way. If you thought I was awkward in normal situations you should see me in front of the camera! Anyhoo, my mom should be super pumped that she finally has some pictures of me smiling…
They call me Khandakulu for a reason
Up close and personal
Could you get more serious man
I recently completed a VO2 Max test with the guys from the Wits Physiology lab to gauge where I am at. I should get the results from them soon and will post so that you can see where this cow’s natural abilities lie. In the meantime check out some pic’s from Trigger Monkey – the whole experience was captured brilliantly; looking at the photo’s is like experiencing every sweaty vein popping moment for yourself.
All fun and games before the test
Ha ha let's have a little laugh
Ok getting a bit nervous now
All strapped in
Not so much with the fun and games anymore
Dying...proper!

Thank you to Aletta and Rebecca from the Wits Physiology department for administering the test and supporting One Gear!! Now you go out and support!
Drop us a R50 donation – I bet you cant!

Went for a ride with my bro this morning and it became very apparent that there are a lot of extremely energetic, over achiever, early bird types residing in Joburg that exercise on a Sunday morning – it’s awesome! It also didn’t hurt that some of the aforementioned birds were somewhat easy on the eye…all in all a good 35km’s!
I am ecstatic to announce that Trigger Monkey Photography has jumped on board the One Gear bus and will be supporting the entire initiative by helping us document the journey! ECSTATIC!

Can you like to say corrugations! What a beautiful ride but oh my sack (literally) – those corrugations! The dirt road jolted some parts loose (and I am not talking about the bike).
I am a big fan of alliteration…and of Declan Bullock who just donated R1000! Thanks Dec for that hugely generous donation – you amazing little leprechaun.
Well that makes it sound like it was planned and part of a scheduled and regimented build up to riding a BMX from Cape Town to Joburg…. it wasn’t really – I just jumped on the bike and rode because it’s fun to do that on a Saturday morning. Ya so what was the exclamation mark about? mmmm ya it’s a little unnecessary for me to have “exclaimed” but another 30km cant hurt!!!!
!!!!!!!!!
Gray from Sable Designs has just completed the new One Gear logo and banner (free of charge because he is a legend) – it’s soooooooooo awesome! check it out! both the banner and Sable Designs! The new design is Gray’s contribution to our fund raising efforts – what’s yours??
Where does the phrase “under the belt” come from anyway…hang on I will google it. Be back in a bit….
Oh the googler – it answers all questions: “The original meaning appears to be to have eaten or drunk something. If you have a good meal and a glass of wine under your belt, it’s because you’ve swallowed them and they are in your stomach.
It’s now more commonly used for achievements one has accomplished, especially achievements that you can have more than one of. (Years in a business, first place prizes, prior relationships, etc.) ”
I completed a 40km ride on the BMX on Sunday – check out the GPS track below although I am beginning to question its accuracy; I completed the ride in 2 hours, which when you do some simple arithmetic, gives you an average of closer to EXACTLY 20km/h and not 13km/h …but anyhoo I am slowly getting the km’s up and my little pins are feeling a bit stronger…
