It has been a long hard four days, however, now it is officially the weekend and to celebrate, Bigman has started his Cape Epic training plan in earnest.
Despite the torrential rain and the gusting winds, he got home and changed into the bike gear without so much as a sit down and mounted the Trek 6500 'tractor' and headed off for a wee 20 mile loop over Col du Cleish and four cimb repetitions.
It was not a joy hauling the tractor up the hill, but it has to be done, and done several times between now and March 20th, the start date of the Cape Epic and the guys Epic Caper. The dividends will be paid in South Africa. Now is the time to make the investment.
Bigman weighed in at a superb 13st 7lbs, great news for this point of the week. Over a nice Pinot Noir he discussed with Mrs Bigman the benefits of a carbon mountain bike over the weighty Trek 6500. It was a short discussion ............. but one to be continued.
