Valley of the red gods!

This Sunday see EYB heading up the Valley of the Red God’s climing up through Kasteelsport and back down the Diagonal.

We will meet at 08:45 at the lower Kloof Neck parking at the start of the Pipe Track and will travel in convoy to Theresa Avenue in Camps Bay where we can start walking from.

It should be a great hike, and hopefully we'll see a good turn out.

Call Monita for directions on Sunday! 082 453 4665

Thanks to Monita to leading Sunday's hike!

Good luck to all those in the crazy store table mountain challenge on Saturday and the Cape Town Marathon on Sunday!

The Roaring Lion

Morning athletes,

This week will be a short and sweet walk to the top of Lions Head. This route is one of our favourite FAMM (Friday AM Madness) routes so we thought it fitting to have a quick scout of the route up to the most beautiful viewpoint in Cape Town.

Keep an eye on the site as FAMM (more details to follow) is bound to kick off as soon as the light allows!

What date: Sunday, 9th September

What Time:
8:45am at the first car park on the right when travelling on the road towards Signal Hill. There will be a wooden kiosk on the left hand side which is where the Jeep track starts.

Please call us on 0738086116 on Sunday morning for directions if you are new to the area!

Post Hike Vibe:
This Sunday marks two special events in the South African Calendar - SA vs Samoa opening Rugby World Cup game for South Africa, and the first kick off fundraising party for the "TEAM GET KIDS GOING NYC MARATHON" - and lucky for you Earn Your Breakfast has combined the two, to make for an afternoon of rugby, live music, Butler's Pizzas and spot prizes.

Everyone is welcome, so if you're looking for a festive place to enjoy the rugby with friends look no further than this - Asoka Son of Dharma on Kloof Street is the location and tickets are R120.00 - all proceeds raised will go to Get Kids Going - http://www.getkidsgoing.com/

For more information regarding this unforgettable event please email EYB on earnyourbreakfast@gmail.com and we will gladly forward on the details.

Thanks for your support and hope to see you all on the mountains for a beautiful morning hike followed by an afternoon of World Cup Rugby and Fundraising Fever!!

Athletes take to the road not the mountains this Sunday


Athletes, this Sunday see's the running of the OUTsurance / 94.5 Kfm Gun Run.

With most of the EYB team taking part in this in preparation for the New York Marathon later this year there will unfortunately be no hike.

It would however be great to see some familiar faces on the promenade as we make out way around the 21.1km course.

Good luck to all those running.

EYB will be back on the mountains next Sunday.

Have a great weekend.

Coupe du Monde


The first of the New York Marathon Fund Raisers went off last night with a host of people attending a very entertaining talk on the up coming rugby world cup in France. Huge thanks to Pete Riches for the informative and highly amusing build up to Coupe du Monde.

Special thanks must go to Bev for organising the Hyslop Hall as our venue, Norma, Caro and Tom for making delicious soup for everyone to enjoy and Tom and Aly for donating wine.

Cobra Beer also stepped up and donated 4 cases of beer for us to enjoy! Huge thanks to Maryanne and the Cobra team for their contribution!

The evening saw us raising R3000, which is a great start but we do still have a long way to go to get to our R100 000.00 target. If you missed out last night but would still like to make a donation. Please see below for the banking details. Thanks again to everyone for your support!

Third Time Lucky

The flight of Spring

The hills of Kalk Bay seemed to be jinxed by some spell, as whenever we decide to take EYB into Ecco Valley, Mother Nature ambushes us with the Cape rain! So in preparation for this Sunday's hike we ask you all to pack those gumboots away, hide those umbrellas and instead take out your suncream,hats and summer smile, so we can finally end the spell that lures around the St James caves...

The Kalk Bay and Spes Bona valley allows for a few variations depending on group size and weather, so we will aim to be on the mountains for no longer than 3/3.5 hours. After all this Cape Rain this hike should hopefully be alive with the beginnings of Spring!

Parking around this area is confusing and past experience has taught us much about personal navigation - so this time to make things easier for everyone we suggest to all meet at the entrance to the BRASS BELL on main rd in Kalk Bay. From there we will wind up the cobbled streets and onto the mountain - and the by pure chance and luck we will have to end again at the BELL for a refreshing drink!

What date:
Sunday, 26th August

What time:
Meet at the Brass Bell at 8:45am so we can get onto the mountains by 9am as there is a short little uphill on the rd to get us onto the mountains.

What to bring: Your pets, friends, relatives and backpacks full of water and snacks.

We are sure that everyone has become aware of the safety issues that we are currently experiencing on our beautiful mountains after a week of headline press, so EYB encourages you to leave your valuables locked up safely in your cars or even in your homes.

As the wicked witch of the north west once said...be gone with you rain and may the sunshine of summer begin, so that the hills of Kalk Bay become alive with EYB vibe! See you out there ready for your Sunday injection of Cape magic!
