Short term goal
Train hard and make my riding as smooth as possible. When riding obstacles it should feel like you are riding on water, to do that is hard work! Also, there is a 3-metre gap I have had my eye on for a while (I am very close).
Long term goal
To represent South Africa at the World Champs for trials again, and to get a good result I also want to get a top 40 finish in the 2012 ABSA Cape Epic stage race
Strengths
Technical sections are my favorite the harder the trail the better I ride.
Weaknesses
I hate cold mornings. I was built for hot weather and getting up to train in the winter is not my thing.
