Cycletour: 16 hours to go
Yes, we are almost there.
Tomorrow the roads are closed, Cape Town grinds to a halt, and over 35000 cyclists take to the streets. They will cycle 109km through the wonderful city of Cape Town. It is of course, the annual Cape Argus/Pick n Pay Cycle Tour tomorrow – the largest timed cycling event in the world.
In fact there are so many cyclists that the last group, which starts at 10:09am, will start approx 1.5 hours after the first group have finished! I will be on the road tomorrow, leaving at a modest 8:30am, which is not too bad.
This will be my fourth cycle tour, it is going to be a hot race, but I am looking foward to it! Look out for me, and if you get a chance, pop past our tent #115 at the finish line.
I am cycling for the John Whiffen Golden City Memorial Trust, so how about making a donation to a good cause!

65km and going strong…
I have just got back from a fantastic 65km cycle, and do you know how I feel? GREAT!
The cycle tour is in exactly 30 days, and this year I really am putting in the time training (mostly on my indoor trainer). However, getting out today on the road showed that the indoor training is really making a huge difference.
Even though the South-easter was howling, it didn’t really bother me. So, I am looking forward to a great race (remember that this time last year I was in bed after back surgery).
I am just about ready for the 109km race, and I think that I should even be able to tackle Boyes Drive!
By the way, for our annual fund-raiser (of which the cycle tour is our main event), watch this space for a surprise announcement…
