Morning all,

I sense/smell a change in the air early in the mornings. No, its not that we now have six cats and two dogs in the room with us during the night, I’m talking about in the wee hours of the morning, on the stoep met die koffie en Louis (dis die trein en ons het al voorheen van Louis gepraat). Is it the first signs of spring or what?

Results;
Well what has happened the last week or two? We had the Nat Mazda MTB ride in Stellenbosch Sunday week ago and I’m led to believe with a record entry. Many Wannabee/C2H members took part with Anton getting a second in a Ladies Cat!!!!!! And the promising young Klara Rossouw coming a very credible third in the junior woman’s cat over 41ks. Wel gedaan.

Much excitement building up leading to the clubs first official race to be held this Sunday 17/8 at the Helderberg Coop/Raithby area. Almal is welkom en dit sal fantasties wees as ons ‘n honderd klublede in hulle klub klere op die pad kan sien.

MTB:
Well, we had another successful MTB ride this past Sunday. Danie and his team did an awesome job in controlling and looking after in excess of 30 keen, enthusiastic and very determined MTB riders.

The odd tumble, getting lost, doing a hike, making it all that much more exciting and challenging. Mooi so manne.

In the future, we (Cycling Club Helderberg) hope and plan to have more sponsors on board hosting similar MTB rides.

We will keep u informed re the next ride.

Safety;
Michel de Clippel still looking for help:

Dear C2H members,

As you all know the Cycle Safe Committee is running a Cycle Safe Project at our local primary schools. We are aiming our program to grade 4 learners and we hope to make our kids cycling safer on our roads when they travel to school.

There are 8 schools and more or less 600 of our youngsters taking part. This is a huge achievement for C2H and the Cycle Safe Committee and we are putting a lot of effort to make this Cycle Safe Project a success. We are starting end of September and hope to finish around mid of October.

But we need your help! If you can take a couple of hours off your busy time and join us on one of these mornings you will help our kids to become safe cyclists. Any wannabee can contact Petie 0823233502 or Michel 0826942011 or drop a email to helderbergcyclesafe@gmail.com. We are looking forward to a fantastic support from the wannabees for this ambitious project.

Kind regards
Cycle Safe Committee

Remember;
Our race day on Sunday 17/8/08- starting 10.00am
Never to take chances on the road, cycling, running, as a pedestrian or driving.
Courtesy costs nothing; be part of the solution and not the problem.
