Every year in November Phil comes out to commentate on Jo'burgs Momentum 94.7km Cycle Challenge ride and most Christmas's Chris comes over to do some summer-time high altitude training here and visit his old school friends. Jo'burg is about 5000ft above sea level.
I have ridden with them both at the pre 94.7 warm-up ride (we call it the Twitter ride) and Chris was here when we did the Burry Stander (SA MTB Champ) tribute ride, after Burry was killed by a taxi while out road training. I also rode with Robbie Hunter when he was SA national rode champion on the Twitter ride and there's a rather bad quality phone-pic of him pushing my step-daughter up a hill. I guess if you are going to get help being pushed up a hill it may as well be by the countries current national rode champion hey?
Chris passed me out in the countryside while he was on a training ride once - I kept up with him for no more than 90 seconds. It was pathetic! lol
All great guys to ride with and chat to. :-)
