Some journeys are measured not only in kilometres but in compassion, commitment and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two members of the remarkable cycling group Barney\u2019s Army Gentlemen, avid supporters of Andries Olivier Durbanville Quadriplegic Centre in Durbanville, completed the gruelling Absa Cape Epic<\/a>. This race is widely regarded as one of the toughest mountain bike stage races in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The event, held from 15 to 22 March, covered approximately 700 km of demanding terrain with brutal climbing across the Western Cape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Testament to endurance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Competing in the masters category, Nick Price and Dr Johan Louw completed the eight-day race as official finishers with a total time of approximately 50 hours. Their performance placed them comfortably within the masters field, reflecting a strong and disciplined ride built on consistency, steady pacing and resilience across all stages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Completing all stages within cut-off times and avoiding major setbacks, their achievement speaks volumes in a race often described as the ‘Tour de France of mountain biking,'” Rosabelle Riese, one of the residents of Huis Andries Olivier, boasted proudly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Notably, Price had completed 10 Cape Epics and Louw 6, a remarkable testament to their endurance and commitment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kindness <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“While their achievement on the bike is extraordinary, to us it represents something even greater,” said Riese. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Barney\u2019s Army first connected with Huis Andries Olivier in May 2022 through the kindness and initiative of Riann le Roux. What began as a simple outreach soon grew into a meaningful and lasting partnership that has touched every corner of our home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“This group of dedicated cyclists and businessmen has become part of our extended family. Their generosity goes far beyond fundraising. They have consistently given of their time, skills and resources in ways that have made a lasting and meaningful difference to our daily lives.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cook and braai<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Their contributions include sponsored meals where they cook and braai for the household when our cook is off duty,” Riese continued, “supplying items from our needs list such as microwaves, sound systems and gas installation as well as alterations to our book containers, maintenance and general repairs, clearing, and tidying around the house.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Barney\u2019s Army has donated assistive devices, provided ongoing printer support and maintenance, assisted with irrigation, upgraded worn wooden windows and doors to aluminium throughout the house and donated safety lighting to make our residents more visible during nighttime ‘wheelchair escapades’.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Medical consultations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Their efforts also include sanitising our waste bins, supplying labour whenever needed and constructing a compliant gas tank storage unit. In addition, Dr Johan Louw generously provides free medical consultations for the compulsory professional driving permits (PrDP) for our drivers, yet another example of the thoughtful and practical ways in which they support our operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“What makes Barney\u2019s Army truly special is that their families are part of this journey too, joining events, sharing in the laughter and building genuine connections with our residents. Together we have wheeled and ridden side by side on what can only be described as an epic journey of our own.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reflection of spirit<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“Nick and Johan’s completion of the Cape Epic is therefore not just a sporting milestone. It is a reflection of the spirit that defines Barney\u2019s Army, endurance, teamwork, humility and heart. These gentlemen are known for their modesty, never seeking recognition, yet consistently earning the deepest respect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“As Huis Andries Olivier we proudly congratulate them on their incredible achievement and we honour the entire Barney\u2019s Army family for the difference they continue to make in our lives. Your journey inspires ours,” Riese said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
