Gettin' on the water

With Abu Dhabi Adventure Challenge little over two months away, we're all on the water in preparation for those two long paddling stages that hit on days two and three.

Alex and I have been paddling here in Joburg - two or three times a week. Germiston Lake is nearby, so we've been there quite a bit, including this morning. We've also had a session at Emmies and another at Homestead.

Francois had been paddling in Pretoria, at the LC de Villiers dam and this past weekend he put in a long session at the pretty Rust de Winter dam, which is an hour or two North of Pretoria. Christo is in Bloem, so he has been playing down there.

We'll all paddle together next month when Christo is up here for the Crater Cruise MTB event - this includes coaching sessions with Russell Willis.
