And the heat is on...
Last years race {march 2008} also extremely hot. Main Road with Muizenberg beach in the background
And the heat is on.

Cyclist from all walks of life, shapes and sizes are gearing up for the big race, the famous Cape Argus Cycle Tour.


And it has been extremely hot.

To convey heat one can really be descriptive about it, it still needs to be felt, the message is really not be the same on a photo or a video. This stifling hot air we really only experience 5% of the time in the year in this area of Muizenberg. Spinach and Celery are being compared to the fossil plant, the Welwitschia, in Namibia …Lying low is really of essence here or back to ice-cold ocean, I knew there was a purpose for that somewhere along the line.

So here is to all the brave, crazy, cyclists, hope all goes well and that it will be much cooler on Sunday. My thoughts also go out to the fire-fighters who are struggling in this heat with the fires that are still raging in the mountains.
