WATCH: The truth a cyclist will never tell you as we crossed the finish line at Amashova

The secret is not really a secret, is it?

It's not often that someone who is an all-round athlete will disclose the truth behind the sports they engage in. 

But then again, what do we know about these things... 

It is for this very reason that we were surprised to hear a runner out cyclists as if it were nothing.

Honestly, if we had to guess, both seem just as strenuous as the other but the level of effort somehow seems more with running.

This all comes after the weekend's festivities with KZN's iconic race, Amashova. 

Especially after the race produced several happy athletes who successfully crossed the finish line. 

One such athlete shared the secret behind cycling, so to speak. Producer Rory participated in the race this weekend and completed the 38km in just over an hour at the Amashova. 

And he revealed that cycling is the best keep secret from runners. If you didn't know, Rory participated in the Comrades this year and didn't complete the race. 

But he is now of the belief that cycling is the sport that runners have yet to learn about. 

We think it's like apples and bananas, Producer Rory - different strokes for different folks. 

Admittedly, his little revelation did entertain us.

If anything, he definitely sold cycling big time... so if you are thinking of taking up a sport, cycling does sound dreamy.
