    The Week We’ll Never Forget - Reflections on Stage 7 Go2Sea 2026

    Day 7 at Go2Sea brought plenty of rain, some seriously steep trails, and what can only be described as Type 2 fun - it’s only fun once you look back on it! With the week coming to an end, the media crew sat down to reflect on the journey so far, the challenges we’ve faced, and the moments that have stood out along the way. Go2Sea has exceeded all of our expectations, and after a week of racing, riding and meeting the incredible communities along the route, we’re left with plenty to look back on and plenty more stories to tell. Thank you Go2Sea for an unforgettable week. 00:00 Intro 00:20 Final day brief 01:55 Media crew sit down 08:55 Final words from Dave 09:35 Last 5km with one crank === FOLLOW ACTIVE HOBO ========================= https://linktr.ee/theactivehobo === PARTNER LINKS =================================== Doolhof Wine Estate https://doolhof.com 🔗 Code: ActiveHobo (20% off wines) RH 77 🔗 https://rh77.co.za 226ERS 🔗 https://226ers.co.za/ Code: ActiveHobo (10% off) SCICON 🔗 https://theactivehobo.short.gy/scicon...

    This Is What Mountain Biking Is About | Day 5 Go2Sea 2026

    Day 5 at Go2Sea was another tough day on the bike, but one that delivered plenty of fun along the way. The riders made their way through some incredible scenery before finishing at the Karkloof Country Club, with some fantastic single-track trails making this one of the most enjoyable stages yet. If you’d like to contribute towards Yarrow Intermediate School, any support or donations would be greatly appreciated. Karkloof Country Club: https://www.karkloofclub.co.za/ With challenging riding, beautiful surroundings and plenty of smiles along the way, Day 5 showed just how much variety Go2Sea has to offer. 00:00 Intro 01:30 David and David go back to back 02:44 The coolest start to a race 03:50 Where's the chocolate milk 04:57 Meet Taryn 06:25 Meet Mary Gray 07:30 Scenes on the finish line 08:17 Final words from farmer Gary === FOLLOW ACTIVE HOBO ========================= https://linktr.ee/theactivehobo === PARTNER LINKS =================================== Doolhof Wine Estate https://doolhof.com 🔗 Code: ActiveHobo (20% off wines) RH 77 🔗 https://rh77.co.za 226ERS 🔗 https://226ers.co.za/ Code: ActiveHobo (10% off) SCICON 🔗 https://theactivehobo.short.gy/scicon...

    The Breakaway Grabs Glory on the Queen Stage of Day 4 | Go2Sea 2026

    Day 4 at Go2Sea brought a tough 108km stage as the riders continued their journey towards the sea. With every kilometer, the demands on both the riders and their bikes continue to grow. A huge shoutout to Siyabonga for taking the win today! 🏆 But once again, the real story of Go2Sea was found within the communities along the route. Today, we spoke to two incredible NPOs that are making a difference in their communities but need more funding and support to continue the work they do. First, we met with SARZA Search and Rescue, an organization dedicated to helping people when they need it most. 🌐 SARZA: https://www.sarza.co.za/ We also spent time with the Estcourt Animal Shelter, who work tirelessly to care for animals in need and give them a second chance. 📱 Estcourt Animal Shelter: https://www.facebook.com/estcourtanimalshelter Both organizations are doing important work with limited resources, and we want to help shine a light on what they do and encourage anyone who is able to support them to get involved. Go2Sea is showing us that the impact of this race extends far beyond the road. 00:00 Intro 01:03 Race brief 02:35 In the race 03:39 Ivor Interview 06:49 Pushing Siyabonga 08:10 Estcourt Animal Shelter 10:30 Back to the race 10:42 Siyaboga's Moment 13:10 What do you ride for 13:54 Finish line === FOLLOW ACTIVE HOBO ========================= https://linktr.ee/theactivehobo === PARTNER LINKS =================================== Doolhof Wine Estate https://doolhof.com 🔗 Code: ActiveHobo (20% off wines) RH 77 🔗 https://rh77.co.za 226ERS 🔗 https://226ers.co.za/ Code: ActiveHobo (10% off) SCICON 🔗 https://theactivehobo.short.gy/scicon...

    You Can’t Understand Go2Sea Without Meeting These People

    Day 3 at Go2Sea and the riders are beginning to feel the physical and emotional demands of the journey. But for us, Day 3 was really about the community. Returning to a community we had visited before, we were seriously moved by how warmly we were welcomed back. They shared how Go2Sea has already changed lives by helping educate people and giving them opportunities to reach a university-level education. For some, the race has also created employment and provided a source of income, showing that Go2Sea’s impact reaches far beyond the road and the finish line. This story really impacted us and we want to do everything we can to shine the light on these incredible people and their families to prove that us as South Africans can make a difference and build OUR country together. We ask if their is anyone who would like to help out PLEASE CONTACT US! === FOLLOW ACTIVE HOBO ========================= https://linktr.ee/theactivehobo === PARTNER LINKS =================================== Doolhof Wine Estate https://doolhof.com 🔗 Code: ActiveHobo (20% off wines) RH 77 🔗 https://rh77.co.za 226ERS 🔗 https://226ers.co.za/ Code: ActiveHobo (10% off) SCICON 🔗 https://theactivehobo.short.gy/scicon...
