Well what a day...the wind...not as bad as i expected it to be...the first few hours as I headed towards Millers Point and Smitswinkel was a grind and i noted few riders really wanted to work together. Being honest it was nice to get to the hills because it levelled out the riding standards a bit because up to then, it was a bit frantic and some of the passing moves were bordering on the bullish and lack of consideration,and this was not helpful to finding a good riding rhythm. The section after Cape Point was in my opinion was hectic and spotted a few incidents up there as people lost control due to speed I think. The following sections were fine but Misty Cliffs was sublime and the sea was a stunning sight. Chapmans went well and lucky I had the legs to pass a few groups but Suikerbossie was a small bit evil but manageable.Its actually more evil than a little bit... The roll back to the stadium was fun...had a small laugh when a aggressive group tangled themselves up..no injuries noted glad to say... But the day was more than about us.I am sure we have suffering partners who helped us ride around Cape town.Thanks to them... And we got home safely...others sadly didn't. There were little things about the day that made it special.The tandem army...plenty out and most were smiling.. Will I be back next year? maybe ...its easier to say yes isn't it ? now time for a beer...
