Day 8: the final stage of riding 2026 as an average cyclist 🦏
185.6 km and 1,445 m of climbing in 11 hours of moving time, my longest day of the race, finishing in the dark in front of the Graaff-Reinet church. Over 8 days that’s 1,038 km and 12,891 m of climbing. Done.
Huge thanks to Peet for every kilometre together, and to everyone who cheered, messaged and donated. We’ve raised R11,543 from 19 donors for the orphan rhinos at , who drink up to 21 litres of milk a day. The page stays open if you’d still like to help: link in bio.
