As sung by The Seekers, THE CARNIVAL IS OVER

What a fantastic and challenging race.

We were seeded with the International group and thus received a great starting time of 7:47am
with 35,000 riders competeing, the race was extremely well organised and thankfully, safe.

Over the 110kms we achieved an average of greater than 28kkms/hr and finished sub 4 hours, thus achieving our goal.

The training ride from Port Elizabeth sttod us in good stead especially for the hills with many other competitors left well behind on each of the climbs.

Thankfully Mark M's lungs were back to normal allowing him to have a great race.

Happily Alan had a flat so I was able to come in only a few minutes after him, not that any of us were competing!!

Have just celebrated with lunch and a few beers, now into the pool to cool off the legs.

Will blog again soon
