[email protected] Greetings From the desk of Miss Communication So, how was your 947 Cycle Challenge? It sure was a tough one, and wouldn’t surprise me if it’s labelled Joburg’s Toughest Race by many. While I finished 8 seconds faster than I anticipated, being 12 minutes behind the winner hurt more than the hills. The worst part was from the Jhb CBD to Witkoppen Road, where I was continually chasing the bunch on the downhills. Once is okay, but do it on 5-6 hills it becomes hard going - I’ve heard of hill repeats but never on the downhills. Judging by the smiles and general vibe at the hospitality area, it would appear many members enjoyed the race, and although it was tough going it was a far course. While we’re talking about the hospitality tent, I’d like to express everyone’s thanks and gratitude to the club committee for the work they’ve done this year for the club (Another successful Carnival City Macsteel National Classic, we have new kit, enjoyed hospitality at Joburg’s biggest race, as well as the back-up at numerous club rides). More importantly how did you find 2014 as a year? Time has flown by and we’re almost at another Christmas holiday period. That also means it’s time for membership and licensing renewals.
