Last years event was a massive success - and as my first Tour is under my belt i felt it impertaive to take on a new challenge! With that in mind i am competing and leading a group in this years Tour de Tuli again, and also have taken on a second mighty challenge - The Otter Trail Run aka The Grail of Trail.
The Tour de Tuli is a 300km mountain biking race through the national parks of Botswana, Zimbabwe and South Africa...over 4 days we will explore these amazing areas using ancient elephant paths as our route...teaming with wildlife and some amazing single track, this is a great event designed to raise money for "Children in the Wilderness" - an organisation that focuses on developing childern around conservation areas and pairing the vital youth with our wildlife areas!!
On the 21 September, ill be running the 42km Otter Trail, with a cut off of 8 hours this is a mammoth task, and certainly will be my greatest physical & mental challenge to date.
Ive raised the bar on the fund raising tab this year - i think with some personal pain these events are a great way to increase awareness and make a life changing difference in someones life!
No matter how small - every donation helps!
Thank you for your continued support!!!
News to follow over the event and up coming training!!
Thanks,
Simon
