No, I’m not funny…
Clever- The mechanic at my local cycling shop is very clever. He has fixed my mountain bike this morning…
So sorry- while you guys are looking for a laugh, I am having a very sad morning.
Sad, because on 11 March this year I was still fit enough to do the Pick ‘n Pay Argus Cycle Race, my 19th consecutive one. (109 km around Table Mountain, Cape Town) And since then, I did not touch my bicycles… except to move them when the room needed vacuum cleaning.
Since then, my 3 sons did touch my bicycles, in an inappropriate manner.
I needed to buy a new seat. It just does not do to cycle without a seat. Some people might get by with just a seat post, but I would find that to be a pain in the *ss…
I also needed to have two new tubes put in… the youngest thought it is much better taking dad’s bicycle through the thorns on the dirt track than his…
I need a new tube bag, a new spare tube, two new tire levers, a new small pump, a new computer (somehow one of them thought they would investigate what happens when you snip the sensor’s wire…)
I also need a new multitool with all the allan keys in it- somehow not one of the 999 in the house comes to light.
The mountain bike is now nearly ready for a new season. Spring starts officially on Sunday. But winter in our town was only on 18 July this year anyway…
Am I ready… no!
I very politely asked my church’s ladies to stop feeding me cake and pie at every chance they get. I am allergic to cake and pie. It made me swell up over the winter, I now carry more than a sheep’s weight too much on my bulky frame, and it has got to go… I am also extremely allergic to beer, it makes me swell up even faster than cake. But somehow, every Friday evening, when I light my barbeque fire- there is a beer or three in the fridge… If I do not address them properly, my sons will. Underaged drinking is a huge problem in South Africa. And that leads to many other problems. It is even reported from the maternity ward that boys just will not leave the breasts alone…
So… I am a bit overweight at the moment. I have 6 months time to get ready for the next Argus, on 9 March 2014. How do you start a new season of cycling from zero? I am in deep trouble. My young colleague and his fiancé want to ride with me. There is another problem- she races professionally! She really weighs less than half of me! I am no prophet, but I see a lot of hurt in my immediate future, starting at my south pole…
I do not know how to begin training for this year. I am in trouble. And prayer alone does not help… somehow I need to put ass to seat and take the hurt…
Whatever your religion or lack thereof- please pray for me, or send good thoughts into the universe…
Professional cyclists- go away. Reasonably fit cyclists, please leave advise of a positive nature. Lance’s doctor, please send some liquid fitness in a bottle. Couch potatoes, get off your lazy bums and start training….
Have I left anyone out?

Mmm… Know the feeling. We have a couple of bikes in the garage
The problem with bikes are: they just will not go out on a training ride on their own…
