News — joburg2kili

This past weekend we were very excited to have the Joburg2Kili expedition mentioned on Sam Cowen’s Weekend Breakfast Show on 702 Talk Radio and CapeTalk. 

David Katz (@MrActiveSA) who is a freelance journalist/producer and health & fitness coach chatted to Sam Cowen about the expedition, climbing Kilimanjaro and most importantly about our chosen charity Qhubeka.

Joburg2Kili expedition cyclists Warrick and Camilla Kernes and Gareth Pickering were recently interviewed by Jon Gericke (@bbjsportguy) on the SAfm Sports Special in-between the SA vs Ireland rugby match (which thankfully the Bokke won!).

Thank you to SAfm for sharing our expedition with your listeners to help spread the word about our initiative. If you missed out on the interview, you can listen by clicking on the links below (courtesy of Newsclip):

This morning the MD of ActionGear, Warrick Kernes, was interviewed on the “Blewitt for Breakfast show” on Mix FM 93.8to chat about the upcoming expedition #joburg2kili to raise funds for Qhubeka. If you missed out on it here is a recording of the interview – enjoy!

It’s funny to see people reactions when we tell them that we’re cycling 4,630km up Africa on single speed bikes. Some say “you’re mad!”, some say “I wish I could join you!” and then there’s Gareth Pickering who simply said: “Can I come?”

Gareth has spent the last few years travelling the world and fighting for his freedom as you can read about on his website (www.TheFreedomFighter.net). He was about to head off back to South East Asia when he heard about the Joburg2Kili expedition and it took him no time at all to decide that he wanted to join in. We’re thrilled to have another seasoned traveler on the team (Bobby Fuller has traveled most of the world too!) and another crazy person who’s willing to take on the challenge of cycling a 23kg single speed Qhubeka Buffalo bike thousands of kilometers for a good cause.

Welcome to the team Gareth! As you’ve already bought your bike there’s no backing out now ;)

Please support Gareth and the rest of the team by donating to Qhubeka today.
