The last day.........


A fantastic day in Cape Town, very little wind, blue skies and a slight chill in the air. Leaving Fishhoek and heading around Cape Point we got great views of the Cape. Unfortunately Chapmans Peak is closed, being short of time we were also not able to get all the riders to Camps Bay in time so, we jumped into the vehicles at Kommetjie and out again at Suikerbosse and road into Camps Bay just before twelve.
Nando's once again hosted the riders and some of the children of Grabou to a lovely lunch. Some of these kids had never seen Camps Bay or bicycles like ours so it was a great experience for all of us.
I would just like to take a moment to thank Steve, Di and Selle from Daytrippers for making sure we got to each location safely, for feeding us and transporting all our junk.
To Elana and Ingrid for helping Steve, and Selle especially with the accommodation issues we had, and of course for the well needed massage services.
To my friend Kelly who worked tirelessly on this project and for putting up with our not so small requirements.
To Bron I know you wanted to be here, thanks for all your help behind the scenes.
To my sponsors thank you, thank you for all the money, these kids will benefit from your generosity.
To my fellow riders, Kobus, Mark, Michelle, Deon, John, Kevin, Kelly, Luke, William, Julia, Jacquie, Siphiwe, Andrew, Lizzie, Chris, Michelle, Rui, Keith, Cairen and Mike. Thank you for making this tour an unbelievable and brilliant ride filled with fun and laughter, sweat and pain, I hope you got as much out of this as I did, I look forward to seeing you all again next year.
