It's been an awesome weekend. Left Cape Town at 4:30am and arrived in Bloem just before 2pm. At one time I was driving 170km/h but I think just outside Colesberg I got scanned at 140km/h despite being flash-warned by an oncoming motorist (there was a second copper hiding behind another bush).
Was a busy, fun packed weekend. Had a braai at my cousin in Blouberg (near to where the picture below was taken), visited my aunt and had a lekker breakfast at Vida e Caffe, one of the coolest hangouts in Cape Town (or so I'm told).
I did a good Argus too. The weather was perfect.
Time: 3:08
Distance: 109km
Average speed: 34.5km/h (1:44 per km)
Energy: 3570
Average Heart Rate: 162 (Max: 175)
Climbing: almost 1000m total.
Alex did a 2:48
Hannes: 2:51
Coen: 2:53
CJ: 3:03
Ettiene: 3:09/10
Carol: 3:57
Am happy with how I rode. On very modest amounts of training (around 6:40 per week for 4-5 weeks) I felt like I climbed well, and also rode tactically well. I also beat Ettiene who has beaten me in every Free State race so far, and he's a climber. I pulled away from him at the bottom of Suikerbossie.
Also lots of background noise to this trip. A close ex friend who has gotten someone pregnant, turned down R2m + offers for property, engagements etc. Will elaborate where possible when I have some more time.
