Two years sober. The lessons and the awakening that led to the decision.
I forgot my sober anniversary again. I'm chuffed that it's become a non-issue now. It was on the 25th of March and marked two years since I gave up alcohol.Early in March 2023, I drove back to George after wrapping up a work trip in Cape Town.Work wasn’t the only thing I did on the trip - I had a few kuiers too.Nothing wild, but enough to leave me feeling shit the next day - a few times.As I drove home, Sia’s song - Chandelier played on the radio and as I listened to the words, I cried.I had hea

The Absa Cape Epic. Will I do it again?
The question is being asked - will I?On the evening of the Queen Stage, as I rested my head on Stefan’s shoulder, I said: “Baby, I won’t do this shit again.”He held me and nodded but seemed unconvinced.That day was my hardest day on a bike, ever - and I’ve had HARD days.The next day, Stage 6, was even harder.Nope, I thought. I’ll finish what I started but this is NOT fun.I normally enjoy pain to a certain degree. I revel in the knowledge that I can endure, that I know I have it in me to conquer.
Epic Lessons. It’s not just for me this time.

Stefan took this picture of me on the 23rd of September 2024.We were staying at an Airbnb in Cape Town and I got a call from Michael - who along with a few others is in charge of all things #SheUntamed.Michael explained that the number of riders taking part in the 2025 ACE had unfortunately been reduced and that they had to be very selective about who will be representing Absa at the upcoming event.He went on to say a few more things, leaving me anxious as hell (thanks Michael), with Stefan pati

Simone Sharpe is a [mis]adventurer, a party-animal turned triathlete, and a survivor. In her 34 short years she has overcome childhood cancer, undergone a handful of major surgeries and committed to extreme lifestyle changes. The 2024 Absa Cape Epic was set to be her biggest sporting challenge yet, but life had other plans… Simone Sharpe’s Journey to (Nearly) the 2024 Absa Cape Epic #SheUntamed: My Absa Cape Epic journey started in October last year, back when I was spending all of my free time on the trai

Attakwas – The Fight To Stay In It.
Attakwas was my first-ever MTB event. I only truly started riding a mountain bike in October last year. It’s safe to say I’ve gone all in.Mountains and trails have been my happy place for many years now. Before I share more about the race itself, which as the reader will likely know, they don’t call it the Hell of The South for nothing - I would first like to share a little bit about how I came to be so… well, stubborn.I have overcome two life-threatening illnesses and remember looking out at th

I am alive. The Robben Island Story.
In October, I attempted the Robben Island Crossing. Ingrid Avidon, the endurance powerhouse and my friend, had invited me to join her on her 10th extreme challenge for the year, after having somehow mustered the strength to complete the 13 Peaks Challenge with her in August.Anyway, Ingrid is mad. I love her. Each month of the year, she does something wild and difficult, bucket-list-type adventures that most people might attempt one such thing only in their lifetime. This year, she has been doing
