For the second time EVER, Toy and I nearly missed the flight to Cape Town. In fact if the plane hadn't been late, we'd still be driving down to CT, and with a "well negative" attitude.
Other than the initial excitement spent a fairly relaxed day. Went and registered for the Two Oceans HALF! Mark looks down his nose (and over his moustache) at the "light" version of the 2 Oceans. Says he doesn't want to start up the "dorsmasjien" for one mielie. I just think he's being a bit of a naf!
Came across an exciting product at the expo. The SportsTrack is a GPS unit that provides specific data about the position of the unit. In other words once you've attached it to your bike it transmits info re. where you are, how fast you're moving, the gradient of the terrain,the temperature etc. All this info will be plotted in realtime on google earth and can be viewed by anyone if they have the units unique code. (Check out sportstrack.net)
The unit is crazily expensive (R5k) but I've been able to rent one for the week of the epic for a fraction of the price (R600). I'll attach a link to this blog, so you'll be able to monitor us as we move along on Google earth. So those of you hven't already done so, do yourselves a favour and go to Google Earth and download the software (Japie, Kannetjies?!). You'll even be able to zoom in on the terrain. I'm quite excited about this little gadget. And I do so enjoy gadgets.
