Written by Jack Russell (aka Selwyn Bron):
Much anticipation for the last day….once again an early start and the promise of
the longest distance yet…180kms. The route was to the coast, then along the
coastal road…windy as hell…drivers from hell, and a hellova long way…Oh hell
what the hell…it’s a hellova good thing that’s being done. There are very few hills
today, much to the relief of the cyclists. I still hadn’t battled on a hill apart from
having to hold the Beemer back to 15k/hr. All that power and not able to use it!
We finished the day at Sea Point with a local band playing and the other
tradition.......every cyclist and support crew member has to run into the
sea….bliksem it was cold!
We all got together for the “Grand Dinner” and certificate awards evening at the
Protea in Sea Point, where every person received a certificate and a badge, and
some people even managed to get quite “vrot”.
I decided that it was time to tell the cyclists the real reason that I kept shouting
“Keep Left”….if they stayed left I could stay close to them and give traffic a
chance to pass…it was my safety I was worried about, not theirs!
