Appends to race/event: 19.10.2009 - 24.10.2009 // Cape Pioneer Trek, RSA
I am back at my second home here in Stellenbosch. Recovery time from from all the riding, plus even more from the after race party.
The kings stage on Thursday was a night mare! Bobby and I had to ride 30kms all by ourself in strong head wind, over endless hills on a open gravel road. Finally we got caught at the last water point by 5 teams. What a relieve we did not have to ride alone any more. But right after that Bobby got a bad chain suck! We were 6.30h in the saddle. Man I was ready to get off my bike that day!
I have no idea why, but Bobby got so competitive before the final stage. This was all fine for me, since I was hoping to carry more speed over the hills, and yes we were carrying it on that day.
We won by over 12min! Thanks to the two leading teams who let us go :-)
