The Cows size up 100 Miles of Nowhere
A die-hard band of cycling 'bovines' squared up to the task of riding 160 kilometres on a static training bicycle last Friday to raise funds for CHOC.
UNABLE to turn their backs on a sporting challenge, a die-hard band of cycling bovines squared up to the task of riding 160 kilometres on a static training bicycle last Friday as their contribution to The Cows fundraiser for the CHOC Childhood Cancer Foundation.
The South African edition of the famous 100 Miles Of Nowhere was started by The Cows in 2011, emulating the iconic fundraiser started by American blogger and cycling enthusiast Eldon Nelson, and has been held at Cadence Cycle Performance Centres around the country.
With a jam-packed calendar and a number of logistical challenges presenting themselves, there was chatter in the herd of The Cows about cancelling the 2017 100 Miles of Nowhere, but the Westville-based core of the herd would have nothing of it, and tackled the task en masse on Friday, 29 September.
With The Cows having set a national target of R10 million to be raised for CHOC to celebrate the 10th anniversary of The Cows, the sporting enthusiasts are using every opportunity to nudge their national fundraiser closer to that lofty tally.
