Greetings to all,
Hallo almal,
A bit of a change. Spent some time on the mines a couple of centuries ago.
For those that are proficient in a black language forgive me for the pigeon version of yesteryear although im led to believe that it is still the lingo up in the mines up north
At that time there of course was a language common to all spending their free time underground called Fanakalo, meaning “just like that” A lingo that made communication easy for all concerned. From RSA right up to Malawi and sadly now no longer in use on the mines (Locally) because it was something that developed during the Separate dev days.
A great past weeks training in the bank.
Good turnouts for the start of the w/day training sessions and getting lighter by the week. Nippy though.
Sats turnout below par because many were planning to do a long DC ride on Sunday. Julle moenie --offies wees nie. Even a short ride the day before will be beneficial. There is a school of thought amongst all the GURUS in the sports world that it’s in fact imperative to switch on the computer the day before a big event or an extended training ride otherwise the legs are no good.
Menigmaal al bewys dat dit so is!!
Just a reminder to all the DC Teams and that is that it’s compulsory to ride in the Wannabee/C2H cycling top on the day of the event. No top no ride. If u don’t have/cant afford then lend one from somebody for the day. Plenty available so there is no excuse. Team caps maak seker.
Fun ride out at Milnerton today. No wind no climbs and pretty short- 80 odd ks. Ended in a bunch sprint. C2H doing well again. Alex and rk coming in 3rd and 4th with the same time- foto finish for the first 4 places im led to believe.
