Heritage Day Cycle Challenge


Anette and I did another cycle race last week. 24 September is Heritage Day here in South Africa and a public holiday. We made it a long weekend and that's partly to blame for my lack of posting.

I forgot to take the camera to the race! This was not good as there were plenty of nice pic opportunities along the way. Hopefully this is lesson learnt as I am not going to take photos with my phone while riding... accident waiting to happen...

We took a few pics before the race at the venue in Meyerton. There will be another race here later in the year and I will make up for my mistake then.



Ready to go!

The route was 20km out and back for a nice 40km ride. There was also an 80km race but we are not quite ready for that yet,


We had a great ride with the route going up and down all the time. It was warm and I was happy we at least remembered the sunscreen. I enjoyed this race a lot and I'm getting the hang of the cycling more and more.

A nice medal at the finish and two happy people.


Next up is a 60km race on 11 October and I will make sure to take the camera.

Happy training everyone!

That looks like a fun, roll-y course! I love that cycling is something you guys can do together. :)

There seems to be just as many bike races over there as there are running ones. Either way you're going to get your race fix.
