Ever wondered what it’s like to tackle a 97-kilometer cycling event with almost no training?

Taste Champagne, the weekend host of 947, did exactly that at the recent Ride Joburg. In this candid and hilarious confession, Taste reveals he entered one of South Africa’s biggest cycling challenges with just one hour of training the week before!

We hear about his dramatic "crucible moment" when he found himself sprawled on the M1 highway with just 6km to go, both legs locked up with cramps. Despite the struggle, his story is an inspirational—and cautionary—tale that proves sometimes, the biggest obstacle is just taking that first step. Tune in for surprising encouragement for aspiring cyclists and hear Taste commit to doing it all again next year (with actual training this time)!

Spend weekday afternoons with Zweli. He keeps you in the loop with everything from music and movies to sport and pop culture.

Hear what the Word on the Street is, test your skills with the high-pressure 6 Out of 6, and get ready to be entertained.
