We have been out for a evening ride yesterday, and it is super peaceful back the in the Jonkershoek bike valley. By the way, many thanks to the guy's who are building all those fun trails!!
The town is pumping at the moment, since the students are back from summer holidays, and for the next 3 days it is carnival time.

It was Africa hot today, and we sat 6hrs in the saddle at more then 40°C. By far my longest ride, since I am training for the upcoming season. Ok, we actually splited it two. We started at 7.30am and the ride took us along the Indian Ocean to a beautiful golf resort. I was so ready for breakfast, and man that buffet was big!
By the way I felt so shit before breakfast, because of the head wind plus I was so emty, and I felt so shit after breakfast because I was over eaten!

My street "neighbors" will probably never see this pictures... but they had lot of fun to be photographed.
By the way they are very good car washers, and love when I bring them muffins. They can't smoke it though, but it fills up they're stomach!

Huhaaa, we won the Total Sports Challenge again! Not that I was crazy fast on the bike leg, but we all did very well.
At the start at 6am in Gordon's Bay it was super windy, so the surf ski and the swim got cancelled.
Burry Stander who was our very strong road rider on the time trial bike, dropped everybody on the main climb and gain more then 3min to second.
Triathlon Olympic champ Jan Frodeno showed his class on the road run, and our k1 canoe man Gavin maintained a good lead over to me for the mtb.
I was really not happy that our team manager Bobby, who nervously ordered me so early to the transition. He cut at least 20min off my great Arabella golf resort time, where I enjoyed coffee and toast! I bet he was just jealous!
I lost a bit of time during my bike split to Kevin Evans, but the 2min lead I handed over to the worlds toughest runner Warren was way enough for the win.

Hope you all had a great Christmas and new year so far!
Stellenbosch is super quiet during that time of the year. Everybody left for summer holidays up the coast, but the invasion will be back soon again. Then the traffic will increase so much, especially when the kids have to go to school again. Most of they're parents have nothing better to do, then driving driving them to school and back!
By the way the summer school holidays got shortened for 2 weeks, but will be compensate during the soccer world cup in June. Hope the kids like soccer though!

My second four passes ride is now under my belt, which is a beautiful, famous 130km ride here. Yes, I was faster then last week. 10 minutes, but we have been a small group. Gav Noble, most sexy irish man alive, plus Jan Frodeno triathlon olympic champ.
We all will partner up for the Total Sport Challenge at the beginning of January, with a few other athletes together. It is a seven discipline race, which is held every year in January. Check out the link.
Also Burry Stander is flying down for the event. He will do the road bike leg, and sure as you can guess, I will do the open water swim :-)
By the way, I thought today it was a super long training day for me, -which I can be very proud of- but talking about the two triathletes... They already swam at 7am this morning, and later in the afternoon they are off for a 10km run!

I am back in South Africa, and as always at that time of the year my butt needs to be kicked again.
Have been out on the road bike for 3.5hrs yesterday. It felt quite ok at the low speed we were going, but I was pretty death afterwards. Must have been the 30 degrees temperature change from home :-)
It is cool to make plans for next season, especially with our charity project songo.info. Things are taking off, and we just got two big sponsors on board. I will keep you updated as soon as everything is completely definite.
I also went for a shorter MTB ride with Songo itself, 2 kids from the township plus a other friend.
The kids really rock, and it was great to see them riding so well. They are only 19 years of age, and just got a entry for the Cape-Epic!
Township kids are very though! I know they will race very well over all the 8 days, and will have a lot of fun too.
