The cycle tour is just three days away
On Sunday, I will be cycling in my 5th Pick n Pay Cape Argus Cycle Tour, or just the Argus as everybody knows it as. The tour, which is 109 km long, winds itself around Cape Town. Approximately 38000 people will be riding in the race, which to my knowledge is the longest timed cycle event in the world, and probably the only cycling event to span two oceans.
It is an amazing event to be part of, the roads are closed, thousands of people arrive to support us on, and you get to cycle on the most beautiful scenery in the world. These are a few pictures taken over the past few years, some while watching, and some while participating in the event itself. I hope it gives you a feel for the event.
Start line
Main Road (before permanent road-works caused the Boyes Drive detour)
My Friend Zilani, the hand cyclist
A large bunch coming past
The Bar One Girls cheer you on and hand out free chocolates
One of the many refueling stops
There are many physios on duty to help the tired legs
A few extra hills here, thanks to the previously mentioned road works.
If you are in Cape Town, I hope you will either be on a bike, or supporting us as we come past. Good luck to all the cyclists, ride safe and I will see you on the road on Sunday.
Come and get rid of your road rage
For R5 you can get rid of your road rage. Now that sounds like a bargin. I saw this smashed up taxi in the middle of a soccer field in a built up area. That is a little strange.
The field was behind a sturdy fence, so it could not have just been left there. The writing reads:
3 shots for R5
Come and get rid of your road rage
I assume that the enterprising owner was allowing you to take three shots at his smashed up taxi (with a gun?) for R5. The field is just behind the Sanbel Building in Belville. Can you shed any light on it?
Update (16 May 2011), today I drive past and they are gone. The plot thickens…
Music from Elephant Sun – my old band
I have been meaning to catalogue some of my old recordings, and finally I have got to it. I have converted about 5 hours of Elephant Sun music, which is the band that I played in during the late 90′s (me on bass), and the tuesday’s child stuff is still in the pipline. So head on down here to listen to my old band.
Lois singing
Here are some shots of Lois that I took when I was doing some portraits of her. She is singing into a Rhode NT1; a really great vocal mic. If you want to hear her actually singing, listen here.

Just smiling
