  • Nic White: The Untold Story Behind SA Cycling’s Glory Days | The Iconic Series

    Nic White: The Untold Story Behind SA Cycling’s Glory Days | The Iconic Series
    2026/03/09

    The Iconic Series begins with a name that carries real weight in South African cycling: Nic White.

    In this first episode, we sit down with one of the sport’s most respected and influential figures to unpack a career filled with legendary stories, hard racing, unforgettable wins, and a deep love for the bicycle itself. From the old Joburg racing scene to European cobbled classics, Morocco, HSBC, Microsoft, and the evolution of South African cycling, Nic shares the kind of perspective you rarely get in one conversation.

    This is more than a podcast about results. It’s about the culture, the characters, the suffering, the freedom, and the journey that helped shape an era.

  • Cape Town Cycle Tour : Predictions, Taper & Nutrition, Classics Season has arrived Ep8 | Breakaway

    Cape Town Cycle Tour : Predictions, Taper & Nutrition, Classics Season has arrived Ep8 | Breakaway
    2026/03/05
    Cape Town Cycle Tour race week is its own sport: tapering without going stale, fueling without doing anything “new,” and staying calm when the roads (and the vibes) get hectic. In this episode of The Breakaway Show, David and Sarah break down what the final week should actually look like—from elite-level readiness to “punter” practicality. You’ll hear how to think about rest days vs openers, why you shouldn’t chase “race weight” in taper week, and how to keep your energy stable when work stress and travel are peaking. Then we go deep on race-day fueling: carb targets, mixing strategies, and the real-world way people use caffeine (and why timing matters). Sarah explains caffeine’s effect on perceived exertion, when it helps, and when it can backfire—especially for anxious riders. We also hit the most important topic: safety. Wind, descents, bunch dynamics, marshal awareness, and the simple habits that keep everyone getting home in one piece. Finally, we pivot to the weekend’s racing: the classics season opening, Demi Vollering’s statement ride, Paul Seixas’ breakout win, and a quick crash course on monuments. We wrap with Tuesday segment chaos (Engine-to-Engine vs Chappies) and a tech rabbit hole on Challenge’s new Stagioni tire and why tires might be the most underrated upgrade you can make.

  • Carol Boyes: The Untold Story Behind Cape Town Cycle Tour’s Iconic Trophy

    Carol Boyes: The Untold Story Behind Cape Town Cycle Tour’s Iconic Trophy
    2026/03/02

    The Cape Town Cycle Tour trophy isn’t “just a trophy.” It’s a handcrafted piece of design history — built from emotion, legacy, and obsessive attention to detail.

    In this episode of the Active Hobo, we sit down with **Michelé** (PR + events, 19 years at Carol Boyes) and **Madi** (Head of Product, 20 years in design) to unpack the story behind some of South Africa’s most iconic event trophies — including the Cape Town Cycle Tour and Cape Town Double Century (DC) trophies.

    You’ll hear how the Cycle Tour trophy started with a simple brief — Cape Town’s natural beauty and Table Mountain — and turned into a layered, laser-cut stainless-steel artwork that’s remained iconic since 2013. We also get into how design teams translate a “wish list” into a final object, why small details matter more than people think, and why the process can take 12–18 months from concept to reveal.

    Then we go deeper into the DC trophy — the climbs, the teamwork, the farms on the route — and the meaning hidden in the layers. Finally, we touch the powerful Carol Boyes Legacy Trophy, created to honour Carol’s spirit and awarded to a team that embodied courage and purpose beyond performance.

    If you love cycling, design, or South African stories that deserve more spotlight — this one will change how you see trophies forever.

    Subscribe for more story-driven conversations where the real meaning is in the details.
