Dylan Van Der Merwe
DOB: 24 April 1985
Hometown: Cape Town (Stellenbosch), South Africa
I recently graduated with a BComm degree from the University of Stellenbosch, a town which has afforded me the time and surroundings to live out my passion for triathlon, multisport and mountain biking for the last few years. I'm not sure of many places on this earth where you could make a lecture or two for the day, go wine tasting and fit in a training session or two.
It was in this environment that I have slowly got to the know many of the Specialized Factory Team athletes who frequent here for training and the lifestyle and have joined for the year on circuit.
Jet lag eventually went away
August 24, 2009"So Canada's jet lag eventually went away but now trying to recover from two 20 hour bus rides in the last 4 days.
Went up from Cape Town to our neighbouring country of Namibia for a good friends wedding and the cheapest option
to cover those 1200 miles was by the bus...not ideal with a Australian flight coming up in a couple of days but hey,
real glad I made the trip up and got to spend an awesome day on my girlfriends hunting farm out in the 'African Bush' as
all the tourists would call it.
Got a crazy busy week ahead with a 7 week travel block coming up from Sunday, plenty of shopping to do, packing and
spending some time with the Songo.info boys in Kayamandi. The rain seems to have disappeared for the while so looking
forward to ripping it up on the BMX track with them. they've been pretty active on the mountain bike side of things with some
big racing in the last 2 weeks and the next round of the high school league this Saturday.
Going to be a bit of a bad time to be away as I'm looking for a new apartment for next year, when I touch down on the
15 October most of the good stuff will be taken for next year.Will have to work all my connections as staying on my
brothers floor as I am now ain't going to work for 2010.
Anyway, should be a great week and seem to recall now that Bobby has been hinting for a while that his Stumpjumper gets
a proper cleaning...mmm!
