Well folks, afraid there aren't any great fotos to share this week, had a couple of encounters with the standard "puffadder on the trail" stuff but unfortunately nothing worth capturing on camera. Slightly better than average week managing to top 18 hours on the bike. Today's ride was however the best sesion, spending about 5h30 on the bike with at least 60km of brutal head wind, combined with getting lost in the flatlands of the eastern freestate. Anyway, once my orientation skills came together and I could find my way through to Adelaid farm owned by the Beukes's, I was treated to the best lunch and plenty of beer & wine to go with the amazing food. All in all, rode 130km today on windy flatlands...great training. People who think that cycling flat country is simple....hmmmm??? Lucky Heids was there to join for lunch and drive a slightly over endulged 'me' home....gotta love training.. ;-) Next week is lining up to be a real tester as I need to scrounge together about 25 hours on the saddle and put in an honest days work aswell...."focus!!" Highlights of the week saw Lancers Inn Maseru come on-board as Title sponsers for my Freedom Challenge participation...many thanks to Johnny & Kathryn!!! Then to all those that have contributed to Rhino Challenge 2013 sofar....You are all champions..you know who you are. On a sad note to finish...January 2013 saw 59!!! Rhinos killed in poaching activity.. :-((( We need to stand together to make a difference people....!!!
Yours truly in riding for those BEAUTIFUL RHINOS!!!
Cheers
CHARLES
