--9/24/07: Leaving for South Africa Tomorrow Morning
Gavin and I are flying to Johannesburg, South Africa tomorrow morning for the South African National Championships and to do a few clinics for the "less fortunate" riders down there. Lots of people there don't have enough money to afford bikes and ride on bikes with no pedals, just a bar sticking out of the crank, no tires, parts fallin off, no shoes, etc. A lot of my sponsors sent me tons of stuff to bring and GT sent a lot including a bike down to SA for me to give away. I am really looking forward to helping some of those kids out and seeing everything in SA. We are staying for almost two weeks and will be staying on a huge Safari Game Resort that's suppose to be over 100 square miles with thousands of every animal. Gavin says it is unlikely but you have to check every time you go out into the front yard because a lion or something could be near by so you aren't suppose to go walk around by yourself. Should be cool seeing all of those in person, especially when they're wild. We will take a few tours to see everything up close and I will take a lot of pics and video to post up on my site and GT Bicycles' website everyday. Here is a pic of Yvan, Gavin and I at the mall today and then one of the extra suit cases I am having to bring that is over filled with only product to give away. I have probably this much more spread throughout my bike bag and clothing bag too, will be good. Check back everyday during the next few weeks to see whats up in South Africa! Later - JB
