[box]Hi Jacques,

I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU for the fantastic mountain bike trail book that you authored.  I decided to get back into cycling a few weeks ago after a break of a certain number of years (I won’t say how many).

Anyway, I see you’re in Fish Hoek so you’ll appreciate the fact that I went to Longbeach Mall (I’m in Simonstown) and your book just jumped out at me at the stationary store. I feel it was meant to be because I had been feeling perplexed about how to go about finding trails to ride on.

Hope you have a wonderfully lekker day!
