The journey has been a good one: Training rides at Eselfontein and other places, early morning commutes, local races, weekends in Greyton, long touring rides with friends... These are all the positives.
We have also reflect on the negatives: A stolen bike, injury and illness, work pressure, those long mornings on the Indoor Trainer / Spin bike at the gym and way too much money being spent on this trip.
It is all culminating in what promise to be an experience of a lifetime and I can't think of 2 better suited people to share the journey with me. I know Werner will enjoy the riding and the exploring and I hope that my wife gets to enjoy the experience of volunteering at the event and the hustle and bustle of New York afterwards.
For now we are packing bit by bit and working long days while we try to stay healthy and injury-free. Follow us on our blog to get updates on each day's riding as we will probably be off line for most of the trip.
Well done on all the excellent training Grant and Werner. Good luck for the BC. It looks like you are more than ready!
