Life after work and the trips of a lifetime

"We are judged by what we finish, not by what we start." - Anonymous

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, your body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming, "Woo hoo! What a ride!..attributed in this form to either Maxine Cartoon or anon

Public holiday Ride

On Sunday I fell into the trap of not reading the rain radar, just  the weather forecast and so my ride was 1 hour on the ergo in front of the Tacx Real Life Video. A pity 'cos it was sunny and dry in the afternoon.  I chose the DVD of the Cape Argus ride...which is actually on  as I write and which I plan on riding next year. 

On Monday I got in a 3 hour ride before the rain set in again. Today I'm riding to work..about 35 minutes direct, but I will add a bit to start clocking  up the kms

Tasks..book a rental car for the pre-ride holiday in Sicily and confirm all accommodation  bookings for the pre ride holiday.
