Mike and I ventured out on moving wheels this morning. We were hell of a cautious on account of my shoulder. I am only due to see the Doc tomorrow and I don’t have an official all clear yet. Mike has been flu struck and wasn’t much of a tiger either. Bottom line, a gentle suburban (read: tar road) tinkle of about 30km’s. It was great to be back on my bike. All things being equal, we should be able to clock a 200km weekend this weekend. In fact we have to!! We are feeling quite anxious about the event ahead of us.
On a totally different topic, while driving to Sandton yesterday, we spotted a string of about 6 postmen on bicycles – looked like they were in training or being inducted or something. They kept up with us in moving traffic for about 3 km’s – really gunning it. No helmets, no fear, just hauling ass down Rivonia Road. The picture below doesn’t do justice to the scene but I am sure you can imagine a pelleton of these guys was a sight to behold.
