Surprises … the good and the bad
Some of you might have noticed entries in my training schedule marked as injured. It seems I’ve inflamed the Iliotibial band around the knee region. I’m not good at explaining this medical problems, but basically I need to rest until my leg got better. For more information you can have a look [...] -
Cycling to work
Cycling for 80km before work is proving to be quite a challenge. I end up getting to work at about 11.30 and as a consequence leave work at about 8pm. So in order to win back some time, I’ve decided to start cycling to work and have a shower there. It [...] -
The new bike
I’m so physced – bought a great new bike. Got a Trek 8500 with full Shimano XT components and a Fox front suspension. Everyone tells you what a difference a better bike will make, but I never imagined it would make such a huge difference. The frame is so light it feels like [...] -

Life is …
I can’t believe this happened! We all can’t believe this happened!! One of our school mates passed away – all of a sudden! Just twenty six years old! This sad sad news got me thinking … it gave me a new perspective on life! To think … “It could have been me!” How should [...] -
It begins …
It all begins today … the first Sunday ride! I never cycled for more than 30km in one day, so cycling for 65km in pouring rain today was quite a challenge. Although quite tough, I enjoyed the ride overall … looking forward for new rides Am totally knackered so off to [...]
