Bicycling magazine’s Neil Gardiner will be guiding the 62-year-old founder of the Virgin Group, Richard Branson, around the 109km Cycle Tour route in Cape Town, South Africa, on Sunday.
Joining them will be Melinda Bam and Adriaan Bergh (Miss and Mr SA in 2011), former rugby player Tank Lanning and 5fm DJs Milkshake and Fikile ‘Fix’ Moeti.
Not only is Fix doing the Argus, he also competed in the Ironman 70.3 in East London earlier this year. Like Branson, he is passionate about providing opportunities for aspiring social entrepreneurs.
“It is going to be my first (Argus) Cycle Tour,” says Fix, “but I am looking forward to taking it fairly easy, enjoying the scenery of the Cape and, of course, riding with someone who I have always admired for his incredible leadership programmes.
“I was fortunate to meet him last week and feel very privileged to be part of Sir Richard Branson’s A-team.” – bicycling
