Today's ride had no legs
The heat in Cape Town is seriously picking up. A few days in succession of over 30degC and I don't know what it is about the sun here, but it just feels hotter than any of the other countries I've been - bar Argentina for The Dakar, that place is nuts it's so hot. It was like being slowly brought to the boil in a cauldron of leak and potato soup - the sand is the same colour.
Coach planned me a 4hr ride, which was meant to be full of hard efforts. I'm still super tired from a set of intervals back on Thursday that ruined me and as a result, had no legs on the ride today. I managed 3h25, 70km and just over 1000m, here's a few shots of our jaunt around the Durbanville hills, well specifically, on the way back. My main man Jody was there to comfort me as my legs seem to belong to someone else and did not want to do anything I told them to.
My new bike is playing along nicely and I have my training specific wheels fitted now too with the powertap hub metre on the back. I'll throw up some more pics and some specs on it in the near future, it's such a rad build and I'm stoked with the outcome.
Tomorrow we head to Chapman's Peak for a 3h20 road ride. It's picturesque and as scenic a ride as any you're likely to see. Weather looks good and the wind will have died down a bit by then. I'll post some pics up of that, it's a super stunning place.

Great ride! How do you like the Powertap? I know some days I love it and others I feel like a wuss because I can't get the numbers where I want them.
Yep, I have a mixed relationship with the powertap. At one stage I was convinced it was under-reading, so I sent it for a service and it came back reading exactly the same... 😭
I like the powertap though, for me, it's a better training tool than heart rate. I will admit that the hub is quite heavy though - adds about 300-400 grams on a normal hub.
Nice Ride Brother!
So many memories and feelings get lit inside of me,
While reading your posts.

Just as hot in Australia at the moment.
I bet. I heard there's a bit of a heat wave going around there. Take it easy in the sun.
Slip slap slop - lots of sunscreen.
