In completing this challenge last Sunday, he not only was physically and emotionally stronger, but also was crowned new world record holder of this endurance challenge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have completed the distance but have not stopped cycling. Cycling is part of my daily existence; I may just as well continue and do 365 days of cycling covering 100 km a day,\u201d said Johan Oosthuizen from Uitenhage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Russel Kelsey from London during June 2020 set a world record cycling 100km a day for 100 days. He called it a virtual race across America. Johan bettered the record covering 100km on a day for 101 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johan\u2019s sister, Beulah DePasquale from New Jersey in USA wrote the following about her brother on Facebook: \u201c<span>Johan and I lost our mom on New Year\u2019s Day and had to deal with a level of grief, loss, and shock we didn\u2019t anticipate. He decided to take on a world record challenge to deal with this grief and to make himself physically and emotionally stronger. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"left\" id=\"embed_7ad47117\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9988\/1681ee21e5e841789fa816130801e764.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9988\/6683fd24580c426aa78ef5cb53182be4.jpg\" title=\"Johan Oosthuizen with wife Ronelle and their son Jayden.\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">Johan Oosthuizen with wife Ronelle and their son Jayden.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis would mean he had to get up every morning at 03:30 for 100 days, rain or shine, weekend or not. He committed to cycle 100 days for 100km continuously. No stop or pause in these 100 days was allowed because that would mean he had to start from scratch. The goal \u2013 totalling a cycle challenge of 10 000km+ and over 444 hour of cycling done and dusted. On 1 May 2021, Johan rode into this new world record, with hundreds of people supporting him in his hometown, and as if that was not enough \u2013 he opted to double this record with another 100 days! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span>\u201cI admire you, my brother. I love you and respect you. I could not be happier with the blessing of being closer to you and your family. Ronelle Oosthuizen and the amazing sponsors and friends in South Africa, you are the rock stars behind the scenes. Dealing with the many early morning starts, feeding him all the right stuff, and just being so supportive! Congratulations!<\/span>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>\u2018Learn to rest \u2013 not to quit\u2019<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Johan, a regional manager at Monster Energy, has not only won numerous awards for his outstanding performances in the corporate world, but has also become a hero among his colleagues, especially for his involvement in charity work through Fuel on Wheels. So much so that a Monster film crew currently stays with the Oosthuizen family in Uitenhage, filming the inspirational story of his life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMy inspiration is energised through the memories of my late mother Mary-Ann Oosthuizen. A few days before she passed on, she said to me, \u2018Remember these three aspects of life \u2026 blood, sweat and respect, the first two you give, the last one you earn.\u2019 She also told me to learn to rest, not to quit. Memories like these motivates me to do what I do and I love it,\u201d said Johan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI wish to thank all from Uitenhage and Despatch who through all my endurance challenges always have been there to support me. It would not have been possible to achieve what I have without the support of these people; therefore, I salute each one. They know who they are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is not about what I have achieved, but my achievements make it possible to continue supporting the food parcel project with which Fuel on Wheels are able to feed thousands of people. This is what life is about, to give,\u201d said Johan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_c6e3d478\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9988\/476b0d5fde924dabb2c514fd84e880d0.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/9988\/1cc209d316914189924d53cf3e5b92ed.jpg\" title=\"Johan Oosthuizen with supporters at Wind Farm fuel station completing the 100km a day on day 101, setting a new world record.
