Riebeek Valley Olive Festival When my father-in-law said he was taking us to the Riebeek Valley Olive Festival, which took place on the weekend of 5 and 6 May in the picturesque Riebeek Valley, Francois and I didn't really know what to expect, well except for olives... Not having ever heard of the festival before, I pictured a small town with one of those bazaar-type tents packed with lots of oom's and tannies selling olives out of tupperware containers.

Stretch it to get it In the past two years my articles have focused mainly on equipment and what's available from the shops. In 2012 I will be concentrating on the most important piece of paddling equipment; your body.

Is your Trust Trustworthy? It never ceases to amaze me how nonchalant and ill informed people are about planning for the inevitable; death.

FEEDBACK
MTN Series #5 Mabalingwe Set in the beautiful Mabalingwe Nature Reserve, the fifth leg of the MTN National MTB Series proved to be the toughest one in the series thus far. And it looks like the harder the Series gets, the more riders want to be a part of it! Even though the race was full on race day, there were still hundreds of people who arrived on the day to join in on the fun.

The team from DO IT NOW Magazine loved being a part of the action and will most definitely be at the 2013 event.

With some of South Africa's best multi-sport athletes and juniors competing, the crowd was in for a real treat. Competitors gave it their all in the running and then upped the pace even more with some really fast and sometimes nail biting cycling at the speeds that just boggle the mind.
