Summary

As a teenager I participated in track cycling as a sprinter, where I represented my province at national level and through this I developed the passion for cycling. Unfortunately due to my bicycle been stolen, my cycling career ended prematurely. Later on in life, I decided to take up cycling once again at a social level after my son started racing. After attending numerous events, I realised there was a need for back up and management. Once I started managing the team I was approached by commissaires to assist and therefore started my qualification.
