Training has started

So I have been on holiday, carbo-loaded on bread, wine and lots of meals so I am ready to rock and roll. This last Saturday the training started with a 65km MTB ride on the coldest weekend. Properly under-dressed we finished our on-road, off-road adventure with freezing cold feet, hands and anything else exposed to the elements by dropping down into Giba-Gorge http://www.gibagorge.co.za . This excellent facility built in the old Stockville Quarry has been custom built as a MTB centre for beginners through to experts. Partnering with the local community this is the safe and fun way to get into MTB. Cycle Lab have recently opened a store there and run the bike hire service so there is no excuse for the whole family to give the sport a try. When you have finished riding the restaurant offers good value food and drinks, go check out the site for more information.
Back to the training, have ridden Tuesday with the hills climbs in Durban North followed by a wicked spinning class at Virgin Active on Wednesday and finished off today with a few circuits on the Durban Beach Front.
