The Flip Side of Work Sometimes, you need to take time out from what to me is the greatest job in the world. And even though the camera may still be hauled out occasionally, it is family, friends, bikes, head space and life that take presidence, rather than some ridiculous deadline. These images have been rattling about on CF Cards for a while now, and covers Kay's sister Candice's wedding, a family road trip to J-Bay, and a mountain biking mission in the Klein Karoo. Good times, and the stuff memories are made of. 46 photos |

Time Out in Touwsberg Somewhere between Barrydale and Ladismith - just a few kays beyond the infamous Ronnie's Sex Shop - you will find the turn-off to Touwsberg Private Nature Reserve. This pristine haven takes you completely off the grid: no cell phone reception or television, and all the power comes from wind and solar generators. You will share this amazing space with giraffe, bontebok, klipspringer, eland and the biggest herd of Cape Mountain zebra on earth. Best of all, you can interact on foot or on a mountain bike with nature, even at night if you feel like it. And if you're lucky, you may just bump into a honey badger, brown hyena, aardwolf or Cape leopard. If you don't, the incredible night skies will leave you breathless of their own accord. Escape, and enjoy .... 23 photos |

Of Witches and Running Wild When you tramp onto the magical trails spiderwebbing within the shadows of Towerkop booming high above the Klein Karoo, you had better be ready for a gruellingly gorgeous day in Big Mountain Territory. Stanley's Run packs a mean gravity punch, but anyone who has followed the formation of the QUANTUM Country Classics Series, will know these trail runs are not to be tackled without steely resolve. It is arguably one of SA's most technical trails - go see for yourself! 61 photos |

Deep Forest Funk Damn, this is one forest I'd like to lose myself in for a couple of weeks. Give me an MTB, some anti-elephant pepper spray, a zip-lock of fatty biltong, and tell me to shut up and ride. That would be heaven ... In the real world, I'd be happy to just go and ride the annual TSITSIKAMMA MTB CHALLENGE; at least it means I'll get my forest fix once a year. Good vibe, fantastic people, great event! 55 photos |

Leo Loose on Lions Head OK, I admit it - Leo Rust was my Valentine's date. We met before dawn in a deserted Lions Head parking spot and then did what you're supposed to do on a gorgeous Cape morning. (We ran some trails, just in case you wondered). These pics are just a quick taster, but keep an eye on TRAIL MAGAZINE, which is where you will see the action shots first! 2 photos |
