What a weekend, WAW

I am back after a lekka hectic weekend.
Where should I start?? Mmmm? Friday 26 July 2013 Potjiekis competition at Head Quarters.



 The problem with sulke events is always that one question.............wie is die gaarste op die einde van die event? The team or the potjie, and I am not referring to the sun. HaHa. I was tasked to see that breakfast was served so I made some Vetkoek met jam. My first time ever making a Vetkoek, not to bad thought.


    
             
The potjie went very well and we had a lot of fun, even the master chef competition were in our favour. Although we did not win the first prise for our potjies, we did win the “Potjie with the most potential” reward.




 

I was also handed my reward for the best Risk Controller at the projects team.......wow!!!!
So this was an awesome day.........but far from over.








Enough about the potjie, let’s get down to the interesting stuff.  From the potjie (with a belly half full of bear) I left to JHB for the Monthly “Critical Mass JHB”. My first time doing this oukie. So I arrived there at about 18h00 and it started MOS at 17h15. Not knowing anyone or how it works, I soon figured it out.......just get on your bike (or anything with a seat and pedals in this case) and trap saam met die bondle. Follow the boombox and all is well.





Not sure what the intention of the “Critical Mass JHB” was, I asked around and it was stated that we are doing this every last Friday of the month to make a statement and to promote awareness regarding cyclists on our roads. Awesome idée I think.  So with a soon to be filled with beer stomach we ride up and down the streets of JHB, some areas a bit more scary than other though. But overall, great fun. One lesson learned from this one, never do it alone, it suckssssss!!!!. Go with someone and have fun. That’s what it’s all about.  
The highlight off course was the Mandela Bridge. The coloured liggies was phenomenal.
