Meet Jaco, Cecil and Francois Bosman who all hail from Knysna. These fine young men are brothers and have all entered both the Buco Lions Karoo to Coast and the Buco Dr Evil Classic 3 Day Stage AGAIN in 2019. There is going to be a LITTLE bit of Sibling Rivalry as these three finely tuned machines race against each to other to have the least bum time in the saddle over the two events. We welcome you to challenge them and ride to win the newly introduced Best of Both Worlds prize sponsored by the events, Kurland Polo Estate, Knysna Pocket Breaks and our valued bicycle partner Scott.<\/p>\n
