Hi all,

In April, I finished Sani2C, a three day, point to point stage mountain bike race in KZN, South Africa.

The race was 272 km with 4000m of elevation gain on some of the most beautiful mountain bike trails in the world with various terrains including single track through farmlands, nature reserves, sugar cane fields, forests, down the infamous Umko drop and along the stunning uMkhomazi River.

My race report, much of which recorded day by day on the race, will go live later this week but today, I’m sharing a chat I had with the brains & heart behind Sani2C Farmer Glenn Haw, who along with his family and wider community, have been hosting this event for 20 years now.

In this Episode, Farmer Glen and I chat about:

His experience at Comrades - a 90km ultra-marathon that he just returned from at the time of recording in early June
Farmer Glen’s philosophy on life & adventure and how the race is a family affair
The Format of the race including an e-bike category and a non-stop category - which has since taken place since we recorded this
The impact of the race on the communities it travels through
What funny things have happened on the race, including what happened to me
What advice her would give to any aspiring race organizers

Registration is now open for the 2025 edition: https://sani2c.co.za

**Reminder, if you’re a big group, Farmer Glen did mention that there are special rates available so do email the team. All the contact details are available on their website.

My race report will follow this week and I’ll also include some useful info and tips for travel logistics as well based on my experience.
