From Bike Washer to Specialized Sales: Jemaine’s Story | The Breakaway EP36
Episode 36 opens with the SA Schools mountain bike finals in Stellenbosch, and the question every South African cyclist has been asking: is our sport dying, or just getting started? Then Jemaine Jacobs tells us how a school league, a borrowed bike and a job washing bikes led him to sales and social media at Specialized Tygerberg. We also cover the opening of the Western Cape road season, the first Hobo Thrash group ride near Wellington, the RH77 Killarney crit series, and the free UCI nutrition paper everyone should skim. Plus the first look at the RH77 x Specialized kit, new gravel tyre thoughts, and the 2027 Cape Epic route.
