So, last night, in a last minute decision, I decided to take part in the Amashova Cycle Race on 18 October here in Durban.

The main event is a 106km cycle from Hilton through to Sun Coast Casino, but there is absolutely no way I am going to manage that, so I’m heading for the 38km Family Fun Ride.  “Family Fun Ride” of 38km???  What?  HOW is that a “fun ride”?  Is the family they are referring to a bunch of 3 year old Lance Armstrong kids?

Anyway, I am sure I will cope.  It is the first race of any sort I have ever entered, ever!

If you are keen to sponsor my entry, get me to wear a T-Shirt or apparel of some sort, for money of course.  I don’t want to beat around the bush here, give me a shout.
