Good Morning,

As per the norm up 5’ish, engelse verdriet en beskuit en op die stoep. Chilly and somewhat overcast. Needed to confirm if there was enough light to start the Polar program this week. Afraid not.

So it’s official. The morning rides will start as from Tuesday 17/10/6, 5.30 am to 6.30am. That is next week. Next Monday I will lay out the program. Would like to see as many as possible there. Aimed at sharpening/tapering up the DC manne and dames for their event next month, but ALL other Wannabee riders are of course welcome to join.

Some good riding this past w/end. Sat we had the Lourensford MTB ride and the rest of us did an awesome coastal run.
Sunday was wettish and windy. I am not too sure if anyone went out on Sunday morning but there was quite a large turnout at Joostenberg for the Fun Ride. Yes RK did finish. Was a tough ride.

Sasha and Alan pitched and Elsa bailed. Preparing herself for the Wannabee “Unplugged Lunch Party” at John’s place I’m led to believe. A great braai. Many thanks to Belinda and John for once again hosting it. All 12 members and their families were there, and that in a nutshell says it all.

Hannes had a bad fall whilst Mtbiking with the kids last week and hurt his shoulder badly. He will be undergoing surgery this week sometime so spare a thought for him. He will obviously not be able to lead the team with Julian on the DC anymore. A sad loss. Archie has also had to withdraw because of a knee problem. Get well soon Archie.

It looks as if we are slowly managing to fill the Sosial DC team. We had a few unexpected withdrawls but should be up to strength by the end of next month.
Quite a bit of midweek training is being done by some of the ladies--- nothing wrong with that!

Would appear that Pieter is running to schedule and the the T-Shirts and kit will be ready as planned. I will keep u all up to date.

Go well,
Ek.
