The Cape Epic Journey

So another week of NO cycling has come and gone, and with it the World Cup too. Not sure if I am happy or sad that the World Cup is over though. It’s been awesome to see how well South Africa did at hosting the event, but in a way it will be good to have things back to normal. Hopefully with that I’ll actually get on my bike again and start getting that fitness up. I played squash again last week, and I can feel that it is helping me with my base fitness, and also with working other muscles that I don’t normally work when riding. Hopefully it’ll make me a better cyclist.

I think the race that I am going to start training for is the Spring Classic. I did it last year, and it was quite enjoyable except for the fact that I forgot to take any hydration with me. This year I won’t forget it, and will try to get a better finish than I did in last years race.

Finally a HUGE congrats to Spain who won their FIRST Soccer World Cup.

Happy riding peeps.

So we are having our Winter here in South Africa, and I have to say it has caused me to lose most of my motivation to ride. Well to do any kind of activity really. It’s just TOO cold in the mornings. I suppose I could do something in the afternoon when it is a bit warmer, but by that time I am enjoying a lazy day, or one of the World Cup Soccer matches going on.

So, for this Winter, I am going to hang up the cycling shoes, and support the World Cup.  I’m looking forward to the 2nd round because I think there are going to be some cracking games. Germany vs England. Argentina vs Mexico. Tonight I will be supporting Italy. Hopefully they can get the win and progress through.

Once again I must apologize for my lack of posting. I really don’t have an excuse other than being really lazy. Hopefully I can get my A into G now, and post more regularly.

To those of you still riding during winter. Good luck, and enjoy it.
