A really good route I ride when in Mosselbay is to Robinson's Pass. Its about a 85km ride from town and a really good workout. The top of the pass is at 860m above sea level. Just did it this long weekend pass. The nice thing about the ride is that you usually have tailwind back to town. I managed to ride the 42km ride back from the top of the pass in 1hour. That's an average of about 40km/h back from the top of the pass.

"Anyone considered that she made a honest mistake, lapse in concentration, kids distracted her, who knows. We all make mistakes, some have terrible consequences (death), others not so serious." Mistakes, mistakes, mistakes. Tell that to 4500 cyclist's families that are killed on our roads each year. A vehicle is a deadly machine that needs to be operated with utmost care! I had a woman almost switch me the other while on her phone. At the traffic stop i shouted at her to put her phone off and concentrate on the road. A person's nerves gets shot riding in the traffic and some people are not good at handling their aggression.

I remember one of the league rides i did a while back, i used a friends carbon bike with ksyrium sl's on. Usually i fall off the back of the bunch towards the end on the climbs, but that day i actually still had the legs to make an attack 3km's from the finish on the last climb. Finished top 10 and the finish was on Tiekiedraai. I haven't managed to get such a finishing position in the league again on the aluminium frame and old box section wheels. I would say wheels do make the biggest difference if you are racing...

Ek hoop jy het jou wiel lat reg maak. Fanie was trying to explain what had happened, but i was just more concerned about his wheel at the time!!!
