No Name

I think this year is going to be BAD weather. The last 2 years the weather was awesome. I had the same feeling 3 years back when we did it, and we had rain, mud and wind. Ahhh... the good old days.

Must say the Matt has some nice upper arms there.

Wanted to that race, but it falls on the same weekend as the iron man. So still deciding if we are doing the corporate challenge or the mtb ride. Eish.

I've got my bike insured at Outsurance. Paying about R100 for R19 000. They don't insure your bike during races though. Don't think think any of them do. If they do, you will pay a fortune on your bike.

I went to our local optom and what he is going to do for me is put in my prescription lenses into oakley's. Also going to make them transitions. Can't wait to get them. I know you can do it for Rudy Projects, but they are very expensive. You looking at about R5000 for that.

WTH are you doing? Salti Crax?? Do you have any idea how fattening Salti Crax are. 2 of those are equal to one slice of bread. Dude.... come now.

We got place at Gecko Hill. It is 800 meters from where all the action is going to happen. Woohoo. I'm counting down the days.

I was not aware that you had to buy tickets for the world cup? WTH?

Around Sommerset East. It was really great. But this morning at about 4 i woke up with lips that look like i had just had boutox done. My lips are so swollen and that is from all the sun. On the second day of racing they measured 48 degrees on the one guys monitor.

Did the 160km road on the mounties. Now that was hard,but awesome.

Thanks. Waiting for the the legs to get stiff. That is going to be fun.

So after 4 days of riding, 430km and almost 7km of elevation, the legs are a little bit sore. 3 days mtb and one day road. The bruintjies race was awesome.

and how is your own programme going? Good.

Mtb just under 10kg.

I was driving a team vehicle at DC and about 5 km from the end, there was a development rider just standing next to the road. We stopped and it came down that the guy had no water and no food. He was sooo hungry and so drained. So we gave him so Energade and a Fruit stick. I think we he saw the food, his eyes went all watery.

I'll change to the Happy mood as soon as i get off from work.

I'm not a Mcdonalds fan at all. The last time i had one was about 7 years ago. I'll rather have a pizza or a nice spur burger and chips. And don't forget the chocolate milkshake. yum yum.

I can send you all my clothes, cause nothing is fitting me no more. Even my cycling pants are loose.

Other half has reached his goal weight. So he can have nasty food 3 times a week to keep his weight up. So unfair.

After hard work and long hrs of training and a proper eating plan, i'm only 3.5kg away from my goal weight. Woohoo!!!. Lost a total of 9kg and about 30 or more cm. Bring out the Bic Mac Medium Mcmeal.

Is this the Great Outeniqwa mtb race? I heard that they changed it. The last time i did it, it was 45km the first day and 45km the second day. Awesome ride, but a bit short.

How was the ride? Sorry we missed it. Too much shiznit to do.
