The Cape Town Cycle Tour - formerly known as the Cape Argus Pick 'n Pay Cycle Tour - is the world's largest-timed cycling event. Over many years, my family and I would cycle this race around the beautiful Cape Peninsula. Before I moved to the United States, I had completed 24 consecutive tours from 1991 until 2014. We were back in Cape Town in 2017 to ride what would have been my 25th tour, but unfortunately that was the year that hurricane-force winds barrelled around the Peninsula, forcing the first cancellation in the Tour's history. 
The 45th Cycle Tour was held this past Sunday (12th March) in near-perfect conditions, and my Mom, Dad, and brother all completed the ride together. It was my brother's 33rd tour, my Dad's 31st tour, and my Mom's 29th tour! It made me feel rather homesick, but I went for my own ride the day before the Cycle Tour - in honour of all those friends and family taking part in this fantastic day. Well done, Cape Town, on hosting another world-class event! :)
Throughout West Africa, Europe, South Africa, the USA, and the South Atlantic Ocean. Our adventure continues as we seek God's will for our life after Mercy Ships.

He is no fool who gives
what he cannot keep to gain
that which he cannot lose.

- I am a 40-year-old South African whose journey with Mercy Ships began in 2007 when I joined the M/V "Africa Mercy" in Liberia. I met my wife Candace in Sierra Leone in 2011 and together we served with Mercy Ships until December 2012. We worked with Mercy Vision in South Africa during 2013, and are now settled with our three kiddos in the USA.
