Welcome to the new home of the Adventures of Flint and Fuel. This will be our account of our travels as we see new places, new races, search for the best trails and aim to be the best athletes we can be! We are a multisport couple who love to Bike, Run, Swim Repeat - We will document our journey as we try and experience as much as we can! Our long term goal is to ultimately do a stage race like the Absa Cape Epic, or the Joberg2C (which we are approaching one race at a time).
We started off last year successfully completing the 94.7 road race on our mountain bikes with skinny tyres in around 4h15. Since then we have incorporated the principles of Joe Friel (a sure Genius!) and seen great leaps of improvement through consistent effort! This year we have completed one Babba’s Lodge race in Northern Gauteng (which most people will know is flat and fast), the Rapids Country Estate Challenge out in Dullstroom (1100m climbing in 40km!) and recently the first of the Nissan Trailseeker series at Hazeldean (in 2 degrees C!). In between we have managed to take a few weekends away with bikes in tow, to Sabie and the Waterberg - all of which good training camps! So if you want to see what we’re up to, or what new goodies we are testing, or you want to join our training rides, check back here for a few laughs!
