The "nieuwe rustige START" Sunday warm-
This is how I experienced it.
Saturday night against all cycling rules( for older people you know who you are)
I went out for drinks with my colleagues. (Back in my collage years I would drink
a case of beer and still get up for class and soccer practice). Anyway I got home
@ 3:30AM after a good 3 hour nap I got up and called up Chang to ask if we were still
going with the hope the we weren't grrr. I wasn't surprised by his answer " SI "
I jumped out of bed kissed my dushi who was still sleeping good-
After all the bon anja's, introductions and the usual equipment check. BTW Ache was
put in-
Now
thinking back this would have been the perfect point in time where I could have backed
off and headed back to my cozy bed, but no!!!! I was going to do this. After looking
around for more out of shape riders and finding none I told myself this is going
to be fun" NOT". The ride toward the vlakte was great I felt as if I had my legs
back flying down the red sand at 30+kph felt great. Plastic Bai, was fun I'm a technical
rider so even out of shape I was enjoying it and feeling pretty good. Heading to
Barber and the much anticipated sopi di kabritu I felt good and fearing nothing.
We made a small hydration stop at the 4th of July snack and off we were to PLAZA
for soup. After one pastechi and cup of soup I was ready, Yea right until the first
immediate up hill. I was asking my self "Where did my legs go !!!!" Going up the
second hill I'm thinking to myself you are in trouble and this is going to be very
very painful, now I understand why Chang wrote this in the e-
I normally don't write about my cycling escapades, but I had the urge to do so now
my be it's good therapy :-
For the ones that missed it total km 55!!!! and I'm feeling everyone of them right now.
