Less than a Week Away

Well what a weekend, hopefully you all got out there and did your thing. Unfortunately I was man down after having spent Thursday and Friday in the old Kingsbury Hospital having some tests done.

Lance and I have the same problem, nobody can believe our performances. So its tests, tests and more tests. All is well and I get my prognosis from the Doc on Tuesday.

The reason I am being cleared to ride is the Cederberg Escape, its a three day mountain bike ride happening there this weekend. I have been hard at wok training over the last few months hoping to do fairly well. After a 4th in last weekend's race in Grabouw everything was going according to plan. But as we all know life doesn't work like that, so when the spanner arrived from left field on Thursday morning, and I felt like I had been ridden over by a goods train, it was off to the good Doc for some tests. Hopefully the come back good tomorrow and I get the all clear to race. Please Doc please...

Anyway the Escape sounds pretty cool, as I said it's three days of riding in the Cederberg. What could be better and they have only allowed 400 of us to enter so its should be quiet mellow. As you can see I am quietly amped and if I get told no racing it would be a major let down. Basically I want to do well and hopefully put my name out there for next years Cape Epic. It would be my third in a row and mean alot to me, so doing well here is important in the grand scheme of things. Following that its the Odyssey with Quayle, Charts and Beef.

Have a good Monday
