WEEK 3 with the GP Riders

After 2 long, hard weeks of training, 23 and 31 Hrs. respectively, Tyla, Rui and Josh headed off to the Drakensburg Mountains for some Altitude Training.

Here, they have had a fun filled week of cycling, cycling at night, hiking, Bouldering, Rock Climbing, Swimming, Gym, Rafting, Running etc.  I don't think that these guys thought training could be such fun.  The breathtaking views along their 5 1/2 Hr. hike, was just amazing, they all skinny dipped at the waterfall, in a hole with a diameter of about 1m, that leads to no where - as no one has managed to touch the bottom, scary thing, but it was part of their initiation. They went River Rafting, down some massive rapids, and these guys being adrenalin junkies, just wanted to do the rapids over and over, getting caught in a washing machine effect at the bottom, they thought it was just great.  All I can say is that Tyla, Rui and Josh are really getting very strong, and preparing well for the 2009 season.
