Cycling to Cape Point
After all the wonderful meals I ate yesterday, some exercise was much needed, so I took the opportunity of a relatively cool and wind-free day to go for a morning cycle.
I went from home to the entrance of the Cape Point Nature Reserve, and the roads were surprisingly quiet. This was not the case on the return cycle; by then Cape Town was awake and about a million people were headed off to the beaches along my route.
Anyway, I cycled for 56km so I am ready for tonight’s dinner out :-)

So I missed the Argus Cycle tour this year, but watching the race has finally inspired me to get back onto my bike! Yesterday I went for a 45km cycle, as I did last weekend as well! I hope that I keep it up, because I plan to be back in the race next year.
You may have noticed me mentioning the howling South-Easter on this blog, but for the next couple of months the wind dies down completely. It is the best time to go cycling. The early mornings are wonderfully cool, and completely wind-free.
Cycle Tour – Chappies is open!
Good news, the decision regarding Chapman’s Peak being open for the Argus Cycle Tour has finally been made. Yes, it will be open.
According to the cycle tour website:
Following high level meetings, we are very pleased to announce that Chapman’s Peak will be open on Race Day Sunday. We are comfortable that the safety of cyclists, which is clearly our primary concern, will not be compromised and are delighted that this iconic part of the route will be enjoyed again this year.
I am so glad they managed to sort this out. The alternative route (the dreaded Ou Kaapse Weg) is a much tougher and longer route. So we will be cycling through Hout Bay after all. I just hope that no rocks fall on my head :-)
