Morning,

Pretty eventful past week. What with the S/Easter howling during the week and then two beautiful days Sat and Sunday.

Virtually clear until about 10 min ago and the fog rolling in pretty quickly from the coast. Deathly silence with the occasional hum of cars.

Nog ‘n week, and Friday is just around the corner.

The Polar program started off pretty well considering the strong S/Easter. Five weeks to go to the DC so it’s very much count down time

Sat saw a league race take place at D’ville. Pretty flat but funnily enough not that fast. Teams playing games. The elites had a breakaway pretty early on and the initial reaction by the chase group was that they would be hauled in, not so. In as much as that Richard Kane got a second it was poor decision making by them to say the least. CSC won the day.

Pretty big group rides on Sat and Sunday and I’m led to believe that Marc had a mishap. Nothing serious thankfully but never the less the fewer the better.

The Wannabee Better Team (Hannes, Julian) and co had a get together braai at Andre’s place yesterday afternoon. Great bunch of guys and then of course Sasha the Small took over. Traditional way of beheading a bottle of bubly with a meter long Cutlass by the greatest. Bubbling with enthusiasm, awesome team spirit. Hey! what more can a team ask for? Many thanks guys, it was great inviting Erna and me. Hannes just about back in the saddle after a major shoulder op. Chomping at the bit to get going but alas!! Tyd meneer, tyd.

Many is the time that in a discussion, training versus overtraining comes up. Wat is van die tekens van iemand wat oor-oefen is? Hier is ‘n paar van hulle. It’s important that one takes cognizance of these points.
