It's raining and windy here in Cape Town so the motivation levels go up and down. Up when you wake up, and down when you look outside to see driving rain... For the 12th day in a row!! But still it beats riding on an indoor trainer, so I don the wet weather gear and hit the road.

Moving to a new area, I don't know my way around that well yet, but I know where some good climbs are, like Ou kaapse Weg (old Cape Way) and Chapmans Peak, which is a very fast climb. There is also a climb called Kommetjie, and Slaangkop, and both of these are short, but nice and steep. Good for intervals!

It's been a while since my last email to everybody, but I've been really flat out! Some exciting stuff has happened if you haven't been to my Space to read it all.
 
I've just recently completed working with the MTN pro MTB team on the Cape Epic 2008 as an assistant mechanic, just for the experience. The team did well beating several world champions and ex champs to finish 3rd overall in the 9 day event. And needless to say I learnt a hell of a lot!

Hi everyone. Long time since my last email, I know. I'm having a great time here and have racked up my 4th race as the team domestique ( worker ) It is very hard here, and the way the races are ridden makes it organised chaos! There are always a lot of attacks as teams battle it out for podium honours. And now that the season has just started, everyone wants to be the leading team.

We average about 120km a day, depending on what we are doing.

Hey everybody! For those of you who haven't been to my space just yet http://joeycsc1988.spaces.live.com for a full update!
i have settled in nicely here and have my own room. I got my bike the other day and it is absolutely amazing! I met 90% of the team today and we all got along just fine. I was supposed to do my first race today as a support role, and to protect the main riders in the team for as long as I could. But a sore throat yesterday put an end to that!
