Good Morning,

Just about mid month and I am still way off budget for the month. Better start working and spend less time on these wonderful cycling matters and opportunities.

Was n laang naaweek, but there were still pretty good turnouts. Whales frolicking quite close and a beautiful sea to go with it.

Well something new is about to happen. We have in our midst a VD Merwe, Andre is name, and he has taken it upon himself to get the Wannabees MTB side going. As from this coming Sat (18/8) he will be leading those who wish to pitch for a Delrust (about 2.5hrs) off road ride. Starting as per the norm at Waterstone at 7.00am. Should u wish to join him then all u have to do is pitch with your mountain bike and “sien djy hier sien djy daar, djou plek is bespreek om op Delrust te baljaar” Flattish and not technical at all and u will be looked after by non other than AVDM.

What Andre plans to do is draw up a proposed ride/venue list for the month which we will place on the blog. Most probably on Saturdays. Many routes to choose from and it should be great.
It’s a start long overdue and yes there will be changes. One, as per the road, will have to cater for the Windies, the Loudies, the geriatrics etc. Bear with us.

We will have a set of rules. We will only ride in areas/on farms where we have permission to ride for example. More about that later. Many thanks Andre!!!

Some went up to Swellndam for the off road race and it would appear that young Wynand Cilliers did well. Congrats to all who raced!

Please do not forget the”Info” end of the year meeting scheduled for Mon the 3rd of Sept, Methodist Church at 6.30pm. Should be very interesting. Hope to have a guest speaker and an announcement or two. Should only take about one hr.

Remember this all about u as a Wannabee. Please be there.

Goedgaan,
