Happy New Year But Not So Happy Bike!

Happy New Year to all who have been following this blog - we wish you all a year of fulfilled dreams just as we experienced in 2009! Don't keep saying 'I wish' - make your wishes a reality and just do it!

I think our lovely tandem enjoyed the plane trip back to Cape Town this morning as she accompanied Jaco back home and must have been thankful that we were not cycling her home by road (however sad we were about it!). But we all agreed (including the tandem) that she needs a little rest and TLC at the moment since we discovered that the rim of the backwheel has actually split due to the strain (and the many pancakes and cheesecakes). So we are in the process of searching for a new 40 spoke rim in order to build a new backwheel. Hopefully she'll be back on her feet (or wheels!) in no time at all as Jaco and I hope to ride her next weekend to Piketburg (along the N7 route that we covered on the 1st day of the Cancer Fighting Journey) to visit his parents. Yes, we cannot get enough of it, you're right! Fingers crossed we get a new wheel built in time.
