Santo SA Bike Tour

Am still crook so yesterday I just veged out listening to the well overdue rain and watching some tele. Flicked onto the Santo tour down in SA. Fantastic roads that they were racing on. Of course I followed Cadel Evans when he won the Tour De France and so I was cheering for him yesterday. What a great win. He just said to  himself,  "Right. It's time. Lets Go"  And go he did.  Have you had a chance to go out and have a look at them Paul ?  I can just imagine you in your Lycra.  

Did you happen to see what some of the camera crews are using as their steed of choice????

YES !!  I did see the Blue 1250 Bandit there.

Typical cyclist, just when you get a good photo-op they jump in the way.....

No , I haven't had a chance to go & watch them , but it is good for SA to be hosting it . Tonight on the way home , there were dozens of bikes on car roofs , trailers etc heading the other way back into town after the southern section .
The only thing that spoils it a bit is the wannabe's , who think if they pop on some Lycra they become international racers & as such ride around in packs & generally block up the roads riding along chatting to each other .......................interesting stuff on a blind corner in the hills when you come across them     .
We are certainly blessed with some of the best roads  to ride on  over here though; right on our doorstep. 
Mate , I see myself as more of a latex & leather type of guy than Lycra     

Ah ,the sound of rain on the roof again ,bliss .
