Trap-trap zoem Adriaan van Zyl op sy fiets verby \u2013 eers verby die Wes-Kaapse fietsryers, nasionale ryers en nou trap hy al die pad na Nederland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adriaan, \u2019n graad 8-leerder aan die Ho\u00ebrskool Hopefield, is vroe\u00ebr vanjaar gekies vir die Kinetic Cycling-span wat aan die Europese junior fietstoer in Asse, Nederland, gaan deelneem. Hy is ook die April-wenner van Weslander<\/i> en SuperSport se Let\u2019s Play-kompetisie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk was nie regtig goed in enigiets nie, maar toe ek begin fietsry, was dit anders. Toe ek begin deelneem, was ek 12 jaar oud terwyl die ander ouens al 14, 15 was. Maar ek het intussen groter geraak,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
En dit blyk toe Adriaan eers op sy fiets klim, daar geen keer aan hom was nie. Hy neem deel aan beide pad- en MTB-fietsrykompetisies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sedert die begin van die jaar het Adriaan aan nege kompetisies deelgeneem en in almal van hulle gese\u00ebvier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die fietsryer bly egter nie net trap nie, maar swem en hardloop ook. Rugby moes hy egter laat vaar aangesien die kans vir \u2019n besering te groot was, verduidelik sy ma, Brenda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Adriaan s\u00ea van al die kompetisies wat hy gewen het, was een van sy fietsry-hoogtepunte tot dusver om aan Darling Enduro by !Khwa ttu deel te neem. \u201cJy ry 24 uur so lank as wat jy kan. Dit was \u2019n toets van uithouvermo\u00ebns. Ek het dit veral geniet om in die aand te ry,\u201d verduidelik hy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die moeilikste wedren wat hy tot dusver aangepak het, was die nasionale kampioenskap. Maar, s\u00ea hy, sy \u201ckop was reg\u201d vir daardie kompetisie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit is soms moeilik om positief te bly, daarom moet jy seker maak om jou kop reg te kry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cJy moet \u2019n sport doen wat j\u00f3\u00fa gelukkig maak. Moet jou nie veel steur aan wat ander mense dink of s\u00ea nie. Die belangrikste is wat jy van jouself dink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy verduidelik verder: \u201cAan die begin van die jaar het ek eers gefokus op die WP-kompetisie en om di\u00e9 span te haal. Daarna was dit die SA kampioenskap en nou fokus ek op Nederland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaarna sal ek nuwe doelwitte vir myself begin opstel.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
