A man who touched the lives of the nation has gone home. The 5th of December 2013 will be a day that everyone will remember what they were doing when the news broke of Nelson Mandela’s passing. A day the World’s focus turned to South Africa, a day I have never been more proud to be a South African. Ubuntu – I am, because we are.

Cape Town, affectionately known as the Mother City, is a cosmopolitan city that suits and caters for everyone. From the laidback bohemian, to the busy executive, Cape Town has something for everyone, whilst surrounding its locals and visitors with incredible scenery and offering a multitude of activities and destinations.

With sweeping views from Atlantique Villa Camps Bay, of the last 10km of the Cape Argus PicknPay Momentum Cycle Tour, I couldn’t resist doing it this year.

Just as morning light starts peaking over the horizon, I adjusted my helmet and set off for an early morning cycle from Atlantique Villa Camps Bay. Freewheeling down the winding road towards the crashing waves, the cool fresh ocean air wakes me up to reality as I turn left onto the coastal road which has got to be a cyclists dream road at 6am, deserted, and flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on my right and the 12 Apostles Mountain Range on my left, pure undiluted nature at its best!

Table Mountain is in the running to become one of the New7Wonders of Nature.
