Hello all

Quite an eventful weekend.

Good ride to Rooi Els on Saturday. Can see the competition is hotting up. Good to see some new members and some old ones coming out of the webs.

Saturday I got an upsetting call from Michel. He developed an Atrial fibrilation while cycling to Rooi Els.(full storey on the BLOG)

Fortunately he recovered well after a cardioversion in casualty.

This can happen to any one.

Quite often due to stimulants (Coffee, Nicotine, Adrenaline), in some cases due to thyroid over activity diseases, in some cases due to arteriosclerosis, but also after perhaps a heavy party evening (not the case with Michel). So don’t over drink and ride!!

So the morel of the storey is to listen to your body and trust your heart rate monitor. These incidents can happen at any age, so get a monitor and use it when you train. Mainly do not get advice from a financier (Alistair) when you need medical input, you might just get rebooted !!

Michel just please put a nice ‘after photo’ on the BLOG as well!!

We do not see many riders on the early morning sessions, please come and join and get the fitness levels up for the summer season. With the South Easter as it is, do not know about this weeks training.

One Month to the DC. Last few long rides to be done this weekend.

See the teams on the BLOG

Remember that the weekend LSD rides will start at 06h00 from this weekend on
