The Weekender

Well as another cold front lashes us here in the Cape of Storms, things appear gloomy. People are over the wind and the rain. We need some sunshine, some long summer days in board shorts to turn what has been a fairly tough winter into a distant memory.

Don't expect any favours from the gods this weekend, the forecast is not looking great. But such is life and if we sit inside watching TV come Monday its not going to be pretty.

So here are my suggestions, firstly have a few coolies on Friday. Take the edge off the week. Don't overdo it cause then you more useless than ever. Sunday is the big one, I know of some blokes who are planning on doing the Karoo2Coast. Its a 100km mountain bike race which is pretty good fun if you fit. Nothing is fun if you are unfit, so don't even bother trying, it will just set you back further. I cant get up there so I will be trying to avoid the showers and get in a ride or two, not looking too likely but hope springs eternal. Now for those of you have a surfboard Sunday at the Berg is set to be a classic. Now if you a big swell watcher like myself its looking more and more likely that Mother Nature will provide us with a great day out, look you wet anyway so whats a bit of rain. But there is a sweet 3 to 4 ft swell pushing through with a gentle off shore pushing it back.

So gather up your lips and get out there, the ELEMENTS are a part of life.

Enjoy them all
