Faith in Motion: Vukani Cycling Club Moz meets MozMTB Group #Ndiyeza94.7

This ride was totally unplanned, Emanuel and myself had planned to go to Bobole and back as per our planned Saturday training schedule ahead of the Telkom 94.7 Cycle Challenge. So as I was riding to go meet Emanuel for our ride, a friend that I had met at the Moamba Txapo Txapo race (where Zoëy's - my MTB- spokes broke) who had introduced me to the MozMTB group which pretty much houses a large majority of the Maputo cycling community, was riding behind me and caught my attention by calling out my name. It was quite awesome riding with him, we chatted while we were riding, he then extended the invite to ride with MozMTB as he was catching up with the larger group and I immediately accepted the invite. I called Emanuel at our meeting spot and said we have changed our plans and that we will be joining the MozMTB group for their ride to Matola, it was in any case going to be the same kms that we had planned for anyway. I sent Emanuel my live location and then he chased to catch up with us. It was especially awesome meeting some of the people that I had known only via strava and the MozMTB WhatsApp group, they were absolutely very welcoming and invited us to ride with them more often(they cycle every morning at 5am). Above everything else this became an opportunity for Emanuel and myself to Introduce Vukani Cycling Club Mozambique to the greater Maputo Cycling community, this was our opportunity ukuthi #SibaVuse???? . I look forward to riding with them more often. We then parted ways whereby Emanuel and myself went to do further distances on our own by going to Maracuenne and back to the Catembe Ferry station. All in all it was an awesome day on the saddle, smashed a couple of personal bests and that gave me the courage to boldly say #Ndiyeza94.7 because #IamaVukanist #God'sSoldier #GodisForMe
