Getting back into the swing of things…
So since the Epic I have only been doing very short rides which had some technical parts to them. Along with that I have been playing some hockey. It is now hockey season, so I tend to ride a little less, but this year I am going to try ride more than in previous years, and still play the hockey.
So having entered the Magalies Monster, and hearing how tough of a race/ride it is, Doug and I decided it was time to do a proper ride. So this weekend we went to our old hunting ground Breedts Nek. Now we haven’t ridden here since Justin and I left for the Epic, and boy was Breedts holding a grudge against us. The wind was howling. Normally you get a head wind on the way back to the car, but this weekend there was a strong head wind for most of the ride. To go with the head wind my legs were feeling a bit tender. Not sure why, but that along with the terrible wind made this the worst Breedts Nek ride I have done in a long time (if not ever).
Will be doing a race at Avianto on Sunday, but still need to get some good kilo’s in so that the Monster isn’t going to be a complete killer, so will most likely ride out at Breedts again this Saturday. Hopefully the wind won’t be blowing so much.
Oh yes, we won our action cricket last night. We’ve had a bit of a bad run lately having lost the last 3 games before that, so it was good to get a win again.
Finally, I’ll be uploading some pictures from the Epic this week. So keep an eye on the http://www.irvine.co.za/Cape-Epic-Journey/?page_id=85
