Month: April 2010
Home, Pete Home
After rowing 5500 kilometres across the Atlantic Ocean, in 76 days, solo rower Peter van Kets made landfall in Antigua on Monday, 22 March 2010. And this morning he landed in Jo’burg, en route to his home in East London.
Bike tow rope system
The purpose of a bike tow system is to assist slower and fatigued teammates; faster riders slow down and slower riders speed up such that the team’s overall speed increases. Towing systems are usually anchored to the seat post of the stronger rider’s bike (tower) and attached to the front of the weaker rider’s bike (towee).
Location, location…
I’m not crazy about wet cold and my constitution doesn’t hold up to rolling swell on the open ocean; this explains why you are unlikely to find me doing a race in a wintery Scotland and I hesitate to enter a local event on the Wildcoast if it features a large sea kayaking leg. Race location is an important participation decider.
