Flashback - Where did the Cholesterol Run originate?

Have you ever wondered where the Cholesterol Run originated, who started it and what was the whole motivation behind it? The answer is Winston Croney, the oldest (or is that longest running?) member in our Club.

Click here to view the very first invite to a Cholesterol Run!! (You could say that this was the Birth of the Cholesterol Run!)

A little bird told me that Winston will be joining us again on the upcoming Cholesterol Run on 3 March to see whether the spirit (excuse the pun) of the Cholesterol Run is maintained......

I hope to see you there too, so make sure to book with Marius van Niekerk...

Look what you missed this weekend!

What does:

A 'klein tot' (of Old Brown Sherry) for Henk; Michael having to pour Olive Oil on a Bike Chain and hunting spiders; Duncan stressing out his dad by riding a R60 000 bike; Pierre giving false hope to many cyclists about the 'flat terrain ahead'; too little Energade; ice on the windscreen in the morning; breathtaking views of the Baviaanskloof mountains; breakfast on a Cobb; lunch on a Cobb, dinner on a Cobb; Aubrey having fresh stocks of Old Brown Sherry; smoking paraffin lanterns; diving onto a mattress and being told that it is rock hard whilst in the air; good natured cyclists; cranky cyclists; Marius, Margaret and Maurice having fresh stocks of Old Brown Sherry; and last, but not least - Pierre 'holding on to a girl's arms for a whole night' have in common?

All are just some of the great fun we had over the weekend while marshalling for the annual Fattracks Mountainbike Club - Baviaans Challenge. As a result of all the rain damage, they had to move the event from the Baviaans to a beautiful piece of road just north of Kareedouw. A great big THANK YOU to Mike, Duncan, Henk, Aubrey, the Van Niekerks and Pierre for their assistance to make this event a memorable one. Hope to see more of you at the next event.
