My Diary ... Yolandi du Toit
Last weekend I was in Greytown for the towns annual Mountain bike festival. As the
main attraction the mountain bike race consisted out of 2 stages held over 2 consecutive
days.
For those who dont know, Greytown is a small town in the Kwazulu-Natal area, close
to Ladysmith. The trip down there took us a good 5:30 hours which included the ritual
Wimpy stop. A road trip with out a Wimpy coffee is just not worth going on ?
As we drove drown on the N3 it was a good feeling seeing the temperature rise as
we got closer to Greytown.
The whole weekend we had great weather with the temperature reaching a high of 26
degrees. This is amazing if you consider the fact that we are bordering on winter.
The event was very well organized and I was surprised.. (Okay and also jealous!)
by all the Mountain biking trials in that area. The race route was mainly on single
track through tree plantations, all around the hills of Greytown. Come to think
of it we actually spent a total of 105km on single track which made it even more
special for me to win both stages and the overall.
I arrived back home Sunday night and early Monday morning I was sitting behind a
desk writing my first examination paper. Luckily the week went by quickly and I
am happy to say that I am also now finished with my exams.
The teams next race is Kremetart which takes place on the 5th of June,meaning I
get to stay at home this weekend. This morning I had a look at my Calendar and realized
that the last time I had a weekend at home was the weekend of the 27th of March.
So I am looking forward to being at home?
