Greetings,

What a week training wise. A Taper week. Everyone handling the program like a hot knife through butter. However, I must admit the change of start point for the Rabbit runs certainly had a few huffing and puffing. Are we not blessed to be able to train with such a great bunch of like minded people and what an awesome venue.

The inclement weather Sat and Sun really suited me, I don’t know about u. Erna and I went out Sat am,but decided to turn back after an hour or so. Met up with Alie on the way back and had B/Fast at CJs. Sunday pm, we managed to sneak in a couple of hrs maar was nie baie lus nie.

Many cyclists taking part and preparing for different events at the moment and also sadly some disappointments as well.

Young Jurie will more than likely be missing the ARGUS because of injury and young Wynand is battling with a cold at the moment. It looks as if Elsa will also be missing out because of her mishap on the bike tour. Sterkte!!

Well what’s on at the moment?

This Sun the Argus, and the Giro starting with the Prologue on Tuesday 6.00pm in Paarl.
Yesterday the Boschendal Argus MTB race—haven’t checked results yet.
The Sani2C - this past weekend I think
Of the Wannabees are also training for the Iron Man and Lady—Carl and Celia – the weekend after the Argus.
The Cape Epic in a couple of weeks time.
Pretty shortly the X-Terra off rd SA champs at Elgin country club—Henning taking part.
