Training objective: just time in the saddle for as long as I have time for with the cadence between 75-90 rpm's and the heart rate at 130-140 bpm's. Kept on target pretty well the whole way, except for a couple of hills - and where I had to take evasive action around a couple of vehicles (one guy decides to do a u-turn right in front of me so I blasted around him so I wouldn't hit him...) - oh, and maybe the last 5 km's where I picked up the pace moderately. Saw some great wildlife - a young bushbuck gave me a sprint on the gravel near Jonkersberg, there was a magnificent kestral sitting on a fence post as I passed (he gave me a good once-over but otherwise didn't move a muscle!), a small snake on the Spar Bult road, and of course, lots of young calves and horses. Oh, and a few wild drivers, too! :)
