The penny has dropped

I seem to be having a good cycling month!

Managed a top podium at the Eastern Cape provincial XCO # 3, then a win at the My Spar 2018 looks like everything is beginning to fall into place at long last and after a few years of cycling experience,  thinking I knew what to do and not listening to others, telling me what I should be doing.  The penny has dropped.  I decided to take someone's advice and do exactly what they said.

So armed with a new training programme, new diet and nutrition, I now have a new lease on my cycling, I am feeling positive and really strong.

This weekend I flew up to Zambia after being asked to compete in the Kansanshi Mine to Mine road race again.  This is such an awesome race and I was absolutely stoked to be invited back to race.

Met up with some of the other cyclists at the airport and flew into Zambia for the 140km gruelling road race which was being held on Sunday 20th May.  I was defending champion (no pressure 😉). 

I managed to take the win.  https://web.facebook.com/zambiaraces/

So it's now a rest day today for me, before more training and getting ready for the next race, 01 June - 03 June 2018, 1Zambia MTB, (a 3 day stage race with 250km of scenic terrain.   https://1zambiamtb.com/.  I cannot wait.
