Sand, sun, sweat, saddles ................. a Cape cocktail




Is there any truth in the rumour that The Fit One took part in The Tour de France last year. This photo was taken in the stage before the peleton headed for the Alps.

Doesn't the guy in the Quickstep outfit look familiar?

Did you see the Fit One that day?

A day nearer the start. In 14 days we will be 25% through the race. A blog spotted by the Ironman provided a small concern for a split second. A lethal cocktail of Sand, Sun, Sweat, and Saddle brings a tear to a glass eye just thinking about the pain.

This evening The Fit One issued a challenge that he would beat the Bigman on the Bus Museum Sprint on his return from the Cape Epic. To even things up a little, The Fit One will have to liberally apply table salt to a healthy dose of Sudacream fused with some Deep Heat and applied evenly! That should just about provide simulation! ....... and equity.

The Ironman does not comprehend 'tapering'. He was banging out a 'conservative' level 15 and chatting away. He is in awesome form. Bigman managed to stem the flow today ensuring no mopping was required

Only 12 more sleeps until the starting line. The bike is off for a final service on Thursday and then packed up for the journey. Lots of lists, lots to do, mot much time to do it. Roll on the big day when we just have to turn the pedals.......a few hundred thousand times!
