We've had some good training sessions of late, out on the EN4 highway towards Moamba two weekends ago and last weekend from Boane to Goba on the EN3. At those training sessions we were shown how to change tyres by our resident expert, Mr Carlos Sales. Also on the climbing front, Betinho Cuambe showed his superior strength to weight ratio (lots to non-existant, as in lots of strength to no weight) in the Goba climb.
However, boys and girls, do not try these things alone, as there is a serious risk of injury... :-)
Here are some pictures of our escapades so far.. Oh, and it's for adults only.. so Gustavo, please come back and see us when you're 21 and can pedal on an 11 rear cassette and actually finish a race or keep up with us.
Here is Carlos changing his tyre. Note the dejected look, as he discovers that none of his inner tubes work:
And now for the climbers of Mt Goba. Betinho, who powered up the hill first:
And the rest..
We hope to have many more training sessions before the last big races of the season. Copa Ciclimo has 7 scheduled events, there is the Lowveld 5 stage tour and the 94.7 race in Joburg. So we'll be busy until December! Keep pedalling.
