Facing the day of reckoning’s naked truth
I’m a puncophobe. I don’t have an irrational fear of punks. My fear of punks is perfectly rational. But I do have a morbid fear of punctures. As the Cape Argus Pick n Pay Cycle Tour gets closer I am … Continue reading
Key to success is for the non-goods to unite and overthrow the privileged goods
I was panicking. The race was just a few minutes away from starting and my strategy was about to fall to pieces. There are various race tactics that cyclists employ – some sprint from the front, some start slowly and … Continue reading
The early cyclist catches the worm, or rather the bird, or more precisely, Tits
“Tits,” Field Marshal Hooligan said. I nodded. “We need more Tits.” I nodded again. I didn’t quite know what he was talking about, but it’s never a good idea to disagree with the FM. “If only we had more Tits,” … Continue reading

I took a deep breath. It was just one week to go before I was finally going to lose my virginity. Was I ready for the big occasion? I did a mental checklist. “Are you emotionally prepared?” I nodded. “Are … Continue reading
Through all seven stages of grief – but I didn’t even get to call it Cramps Bay
On Sunday evening, a week before the Cycle Tour, I went to bed feeling smug. I’d trained, I’d pimped my bike (two services, lubricated chain and cogs and a spanking new saddle) and I’d pimped myself (new Spandex bib pants). … Continue reading
Random facts and many prayers as the Tour day approaches
There is a Facebook craze doing the rounds where people create a list of 25 “things” about themselves and annoy 25 of their Facebook friends by sending it to them. Thanks to this craze I’ve learnt that Sam has never … Continue reading
