We (about 15 of us) were training for 07 DC. Just before the DC the PPA were putting on a one day stage event, if my memory serves me correctly it was about 180Km can't remember the events name. Needless to say our team manager thought this would be a great event to see if we were ready for the DC. A week leading up to this race the Western Cape got all the rain we could handle. We had our doubts that the event would happen but we all stayed possitive as we were eager to ride. The morning of the event it was a sparrows fart wake up at 3am to travel. It was wet and freezing cold. Hubby says we are to go dressed in kit so we don't need to rush when we get to the event. Am so bloody nervous, I take all the advice I can get. So here we are all dressed up ready to go, as we are about to get in the car I hear him shout TIMING CHIPS. I race back into the house get the chips and we both but our chips around our ankles. We hit the road with coffee in hand, we arrive at the event and it ain't going to happen. We hang around for a while and they eventually call the event off. Back in the car cold and wet we race home.
Off with the kit on with the track suite coffee and back into bed. One thing leads to another and . During this ordeal my foot catches on something and I think to myself, no it can't be I say to hubby, nunu what have you got around your ankle? to which he replies nothing why? I say well my toes keep on hooking into something so please have a look?
Nunu has a look and discover he still had his timing chip wrapped around his ankle that was the end of we laughted so much.
Ok am off to the Dog Box - Goodnight all
