Isn't cycling wonderful? Throughout the winter you ride with friends / club mates and get strong Then the season starts, DC creeps closer You travel together to the 1tonner, Durbanville, Joostenberg, West Coast Express Greet fellow DC and Club members at the Registration Line up in your Club kit Work hard with your mates for 2+ hours And then afterwards congratulate each other in the spirit of cycling Make new friends at the finish line And then have team discussions afterwards, what we've learnt, what we can do better next time (As an added bonus, your seeding creeps up from race to race) Team riding is purely for enjoyment, fitness, camaraderie, and naturally: a bit of competition ;-) To everyone doing the DC: have fun and remember, the quicker you go, the less time you're in the saddle.
