Good news (or maybe not so good news due to my distinct lack of training)

I will be doing my 18th CTCT this year. Thanks to Eddy and and the accommodating staff at the CTCT Race Office. 

I will just wing it on my hybrid, hoping my knowledge of the route will enable me to finish without suffering too much. Anything less than 5hrs will be a bonus to me.

Lekka, Bruuuu. Daai Argus gaan jou fiks maak. 😎

Eish, ek weet nie so mooi nie. Klink eerder of hy my dood gaan maak. Verste wat ek in die laaste jaar gery het 92km, so die een gaan bloedsweet vat.

Meet Spoorstaaf (Rail-track). The veteran of 16 Tours is coming out of retirement to ride my 30th Argus!

In this year’s starting group Spoorstaaf and I am honoured and blessed to have my daughter alongside us. She was at my first start in 1992 as well, albeit in her mother’s womb!

Not according to ventusky.....50kmph wind by cape point

That's great for Smits - we get blown up there, making it feel like it's almost flat.

Its the rest of Atlantic seaboard that becomes the bugger. Especially Ocean View to Noerdhoek, into the headwind.

Nooit, I haven't been able to ride a bike for nearly 4 weeks cos of after effects of the 'vid. Got a "sort of" all clear from the doc on Friday that I can start training slowly again, but take it easy.

Me: Vo2Max and Threshold all day, every day till I depart for CPT 😜 😆 j/k

Well, so much for that idea. Head aches, occasional dizziness and increasing chest pains had me back at quack this week. More tests and X-rays and he's issued me a "stop-ride" until I've been to see a cardiologist. No appointments available next week. 

So no CTCT for me this year 😭

Enjoy it everyone, stay safe and have a lekka ride 💪.

sorry to hear this but better to catch an issue now than end up on a cold table.

There will be more CTCT for you to come back strong to.

All the best with the tests and recovery

After seeing this weather report I might need to go visit your Dr!

But seriously, rest up and I'm sure we'll see you there next year
