solank jy net leeuloop

Going back to the afrikaner roots, it's surprising to see that 12 years on the Afrikaner nation is alive and well at the
Molfees in Marremsbirry. This was after rising at some ungodly hour to get there in time for the MTB race. 75km looked like a piece of piss, until i had to re-engineer a tubeless conversion to tubed after 12kays, so ended up just cruising the route from the back - even missed the prizegiving!

Onto the fees, my shattered nerves, it was huge, the Pepsi tent fitted on the entire rugby field, and the star attraction of the night was of course Robbie 'Robbie W' Wessels and Bok van Blerk. So predictably we ended up with a stirring rendition of 'De la Rey', all standing arms linked, ready to trek into the hinterland and educate the natives.

Wessels is a genius, you know him as the guy from the Vodacom adverts, came on as his alter ego - Poenie Pieterse...I could go on, but Youtube helps me out instead:


live as poenie

at some really really big show, the famous Leeuloop, lovely seeing 12 year olds and oumas side by side singing about tennisballe

Poena is koning
