I am English and have lived in South Africa - Cape Town - since March 2010. I am semi-retired awaiting decision on residency. Meanwhile, I have returned with avengeance to riding and to racing. Cape Town is an amazing place for a cyclist: glorious scenery of mountains and the sea, vineyards and the city itself. The roads generally are good and the climate wonderful, though winter (wet) is approaching. It is a cyclists'city and paradise - there are many, many cyclists whether road or mountain bike. I have joined Club 100 - the major clubs here have full time managers! - and am about to set myself up with a coach. I ride 3 times a week and that will increase. I race in the Masters 50-59 or 55-59 category and rode my first Winter League race today. Oh, and I completed my first Cape Argus last month. 108km of spectacular riding and the biggest timed cycle race in the world, over 35,000 riders ........... Stay safe. Peter
