Well Done & Thanks!

Well done to all the riders of the Trans Karoo Mountain Bike Tour for completing their massive 500km in 5 days and helping raise funds for ECYCC. An amazing effort from everyone involved - thanks so much! Here's a couple of photos - more to follow soon...



Special thanks go to Warren and Sue Horne who were key members of the crew that set up camp for every night – all the tents, erected 4 hot water showers, unloaded the luggage and the food boxes – then packed them up again the next morning to move to the next venue – whew, heavy work indeed. Sue was the sweep vehicle pulling the big bike trailer – travelling at 30km/hour through the Karoo for 5 days over 500km – she also set up the breakfasts each evening for the following morning and cleared up and washed up before setting off behind the riders – all with such a good grace.

Warren & Sue have kindly donated 3 solar panel tubes for the home's solar system which was installed last year. Their kindness knows no bounds, so thank you to them for helping make the home a better place.
