As an angsty smalltown teen growing up in 2007, stealing tracks off my older sister’s computer (illegally downloaded off LimeWire) made me feel legit.

It’s heaven and hell out here on the bicycles as the Grandads Army belts it across the highveld outside Carolina, Mpumalanga, to get to Clarens, 105km away in the Maluti foothills. The cyclists are all about heritage, but this coal belt is not a happy part of that heritage.
