Its the Mid Week BABY!



Well the mid week is here! Just to update all of you on whats been happening... On the weekend I just chilled and took it easy. Roy, Giselle, Bryan, Warren "Aviator" Hall and I went to for lunch in Noordhoek at the Red Herring. Monday and Tuesday where the usual beginning of the work week days. I didn't ride to work either as I was too lazy, if I'm honest! However, I woke up early this morning and after a 15 min debate while making tea I decided to ride in this morning...

As see on the Internet this morning - THE CHEESEBURGER IN A CAN! What sick mind invented this abomination!

Ride To Work - Day 3 and Bonus...

A very very beautiful morning in Slaap Stad today! Unfortunately my colleague Lee got food poisoning from some dodgy prawns last night, so I felt a bit lonely this morning. On the upside, I didn't have to try and keep up with the super fit who I work with... But no matter, I will get there one day! The cycle in was fantastic...

Interesting Image for today:

Ride to Work - Day 2

Day 2 and I feel a bit better this morning. The ride home yesterday was great - 25 mins and with the wind at our backs we didn't take any strain. However, the prevailing wind is in our faces nearly every morning and that took its toll on me...! This morning Ray "3Poles" Chaplin (www.3poles.co.za) joined us for what probably seems a nice slow ride from my house to the office. Hopefully when I start getting fitter we can take a less direct route and really get a work out! We'll see in the next couple of weeks...

Just coming onto main road.

Ride To Work - Day 1

Its Day One of my "Get-Fit-So-Start-Cycling-To-Work-Campaign". Officially - I'm buggered! I realised why I need to do more exercise, because I'm terribly unfit... As Lee (who I cycle with in the mornings) said to me - Each day it gets better! She should know, she Cycle's from Milnerton every day!!!!

I'm not gathering STATS for this week, as my watch is at Polar in JHB getting a bettery replacement. However, from next week I will be keeping you posted on my journey to fitness...

Here is the route:


Here is today's weather!
