Middag,

Less than a week to go for the BIG ONE and that’s the Double Century out at Swellendam. Lets all hope that the route will be ok. The inclement weather during the last week or so, creating havoc, and causing much damage in those areas.

We had great turnouts this w/end. The excellent weather making it a pleasure to be out on the road. Sadly, we had a slight mishap with Arthur taking a tumble this morning. Nothing too serious I hope.

We had another mugging/robbery/hijacking on Sat morning near Kyamandi, just outside Stellenbosch. Two cyclists were attacked by three!@#$%^7 and got away with a bike and valuables. (So I am led to believe)

The need to remain acutely aware of what’s happening around you on the roads remains PARAMOUNT. Never train alone in suspect areas and for that matter never ever train alone!! (In fact a min of 3 should be the norm)

There are NO guarantees. Never take anything for granted period!!!

What about this Pepper Spray goed? Shouldn’t we maybe all consider having something like that available and handy? Remember in a previous mail, I referred you to Jehan Uren who sells the product which fits perfectly on the bike. (Strand Guns – 021 853 7231)

This coming Wednesday we are having our first AGM as a new club. Venue is the Methodist Church Coronation Ave, 6.30pm sharp, duration 1 HR.
