The Cannon-to-Cape started this morning on a
very high note. The group gathered at
around 05:30 where we had a warm send off by
family, friends and colleagues - which we appreciated a lot. It is a good feeling knowing that you are
going on the road with a support base at home, cheering you on and believing
in you. We would like to thank you for
that.
At exactly 06:00 the whistle was blown and
the tour was on its way! This according
to me, is a record on its own, as some of the tour members are not so - can I
call it - aware of the time sometimes.
Respect to them. However, the
tour did NOT start without complications, we had a broken chain before we even
started, which was fixed in no time.
Just after the first bridge (2km into the
tour), we had another chain incident. The
problem with having trouble so early in the morning is obviously the visibility of the cyclist, however this
was also handled in the most professional manner and we were on our way again.
Currently, the cyclists are about 10km out of
Keimoes and looking very strong, very excited to have passed the first town.
It is cold, however that is perfect weather for
cycling, we are thankful for that.
I will update again after arriving safely at
our first stop: Kenhardt.
Regards,
Elizca
