Road Cycling
The sport of the open road, strategy, teamwork... and road-raged driver dodging!
Cycling in Cape Town: “Share the Road” 08 Feb 2012
This media release was issued by the City of Cape Town this week, which I thought should be shared, for what it's worth. There's a number at the bottom to report unsafe activity on the cycle lanes, wonder what other unsafe cycling activities...
Cycling Safely - It Starts At Home 30 Jan 2012
How far would you go, realistically, to make life safer for cyclists on South African roads?
Why this came about
I was recently asked to sign a petition to lobby the Minister of Transport to do "something drastic" to ensure the safety of cyclists on...
Pick 'n Pay Argus 2011 17 Mar 2011
For the past 6 months I have been working for Design Indaba, on a contract that was due to end in February. At the same time, I had got back onto my bike after a period of getting lazy and was training for the annual Argus. My mountain...
That wasn't so bad! 25 May 2010
After all my stressing about last weekend's activities, I came away from it in a relatively good condition, having completed all 280km I had signed up for!
The 100Miler was much better than last year. It's amazing how the weather really can play...
Silly, stupid weekend coming up! 21 May 2010
I've got myself signed up for two silly events this weekend. And I'm not quite sure how I'll fare.
They're both very serious events and for good benefit too. I'm hoping my benefit will be a good weekend of training!
Saturday: The AMArider...
Dinner with Lance Armstrong 10 Mar 2010
Last night I was lucky enough (thanks mom!) to get tickets to the Lance Armstrong Banquet. It was held in the fabulous new Stadium, making use of its many levels.
We entered on the field and climbed the stairs up to the main concourse/food area...
Double Century 2009 04 Dec 2009
1 team, 12 cyclists, 205km... Yup, it was Double Century time again at the end of November. And I once again rode with the Club100CT Cadiz Diamonds - the sparkly ladies team that came third last year.
I've been having quite a tough year, though,...
Klein Joostenberg 17 Nov 2008
With League season over, I decided it was time I rode a PPA funride in my own seeded group to see how I fare. With the mid-year reseeding, I was bumped up from I to G, and this was going to be my first time riding in this group. I arrived with...
Simonsvlei - Spring League #7 11 Nov 2008
Progress at last!!
The ladies started on their own again this weekend, so I was given the opportunity to see what I could do amongst my peers (as opposed to just hanging onto the Vets). I was confident I'd last at least the first half hour,...
Bonnievale - Spring League #6 04 Nov 2008
Oh dearie me. This League thing hasn't been a particularly successful venture for me so far!
This weekend we headed out to the very bonny vale of Bonnievale for the penultimate race in the 2008 Spring League.
For some reason we started with...
