casspir Posted February 8, 2007 Share Cycled to primary school as a kid. Then nothing. Smoked excessively and was diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat in 2000. Hospitalisation, tests etc and stopped smoking (easiest decision yet!). Was put on beta blockers etc. Saw families in camping sites cycling and it got my attention. Bought MTB and started cycling again. Did my first 10km ride in Onrus, and was I proud! Full 10k's!. Had a bypass op (triple) in April 2004. Recovered and completed the Karoo 2 Coast in September 2004 (the wet one). Also realised that cycling is about more than doing 10k's. Entered and started Epic 2005. Got flu on day two and being quite scared, pulled out. Cycling for the enjoyment and health at this stage. Averaging about 220k's a week. I only wished and kept on cycling after primary school! casspir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
