Cycling is not all work and no play. You have done the hard miles. The total number of combined kms travelled during the Western Cape Audax events was just shy of 12,000. That is more than cycling around the circumference of the moon. Or, as the crow flies, from Cape Town to Greenland.
Which means we all deserve some beers.
So we’ll be having a small get-together after the first ride of 2015 – which is the 200kms on the 17th January 2015. You can have a shower/change at Vrede after the ride and then join us to exchange stories and receive your 2014 medals. And if you are not cycling on the day then you are still more than welcome to join. Friends & family welcome. RSVP. Just pop an email to nicoc@courtneycap.co.za that we can get an idea of the numbers.
