Roadie Baiting....LOVE IT
I had fun last night ....all on my own. No not that kind of fun....!!
Anyway, couldn't make it to Veyrier on time, but did get time for a quick ride - on my RIP.
Picked up roadie 1 just outside my house... but I had saddle issues so he went ahead.
I almost caught up with him as we turned onto the Cheserex road
Two more roadies went by on the main road as we turned on it follow them.
I really had to work against the wind to finally join the peloton.
One of the roadies noticed me....picked up speed immediately, his friend followed.
I couldn't stay with them and they took a 50m lead BUT...on the entrance into Cheserex
I put the pedal to the metal on the slight descent, caught them up and sailed straight past them.....
I heard frantic gear changes....but they couldn't catch me....I held the lead until Gingins
where we went separate ways....so they technically didn't overtake me ;-)
Heart rate was of the scale but bating 3 roadies in one 'hit' was just too good to pass by.
Still smiling now.....loved it.

A Zulu in the Bush
The Mashatu Game Reserve is famous for elephants and giraffe. We had the opportunity to cycle through it this past Easter weekend with a group of 11 adventurous riders. Although it was dusty, the recent floods left a lot of fantastic greenery and lots of soft sand on the flood plains. This made for tough riding and beautiful views! Unfortunately Mrs Zulu had a bit of a fall, but got back on the bike and carried on. Three stitches at the hospital later, she was still smiling. Enjoy the photos.
