Wow, what a hard day in the saddle! Started in YY at 8.45 and our group (648) was huge! Avoided a crash HALFWAY up Wynberg Hill , whole row of riders going down infront of me. Wind was ok untill we hit Fishhoek. Was quite a struggle passing the slower riders untill we reached Smitswinkel. Going down Scarborough was a breeze trying to make up for lost time. Chappies I climbed without any hassles, but boy oh boy, going down to Houtbay was terrifying! Was hopping sideways as the windgusts was blowing me around like a ragdoll. Loved being blown up Suikerbossie, and then going down Llandudno I had to pedal or I would come to a dead stop. By that time I was "in my moer". Up side is I managed a 40min improvement from last year, but man, I am so sore this morning. So, all in all a very eventfull day. Also so proud of my dad who did his first Argus at age 60, and managed a 4:49! And ofcourse hubby doing a fantastic 3:06. Taking a 2 month break from cycling, and getting ready for the 2 Oceans, and Safari half Marathon's. See ya all next year!
