Over the past few days after creating my blogg, I have been faced with a lot of challenges. All of them different is so many ways, but all handled and taken care of.
It all began sunday morning the 18th of September, waking up and getting ready for a day at the Zoo doen't sound like your average race day? But this was the case, it was time for the Mtn Zoo lake criterium hosted by Johannesburg Zoo where Arran brown, my captain and teammate walked away as the victor of the 2hour race.
Wednesday morning Bradley Potgieter, Arran Brown and myself went for a long ride to the south of Johannesburg to have a look at the route for the upcoming Randwater race for Victory starting on the rand waterboard road. It would become a very long day in the saddle, spending more than five hours on the bike, riding 160km and ending of the ride with the last 30km into a block headwind.
The long journey south on wednesday helped a lot in sunday's race as I mannaged to get into the early break and with propper knowledge of the route ended up being on of two riders to crest the main climb of the day with a considerable lead over the main bunsh containing all of my team mates and most of the pre race favorites. We got hauled back into the lead group with no more than 12km to the finish and again our team walked away winners of the day with Arran brown being the first man across the line.
All ended last night with a great "get together" at Arran's house, most of our team made it there and we had a lot of laughing and great company.
Next challenge would be a race down in durban, hope to see a lot of old friends there.
