Johann Rissik: October 2008
http://johannrissik.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 29, 2008. Eric Attwell The Road to London (Ean : 620-21982-3). A fascinating story of two South African brothers who set out to ride from Port Elizabeth to London in 1936. The story is all the more interesting because they did it on a shoe-string budget, stopping to work along the way. The book, printed in 1997, appears to be unavailable. Eric Attwell deserves much wider recognition in South Africa. The Road to London. Monday, October 27, 2008. The Sishen Saldanha Ride. This might yet ...

Johann Rissik: I had a day in Africa
http://johannrissik.blogspot.com/2008/12/i-had-day-in-africa.html
Thursday, December 4, 2008. I had a day in Africa. On Monday (1st Dec08 )I went to Murraysburg. There's a subtle change somewhere north of Beaufort West, without knowing it at first, one moves over the border into Africa. (No, I do not consider the Western Cape to be part of Africa and don't ask me why. It's hard enough remembering my opinions without having to remember the reasons for them). The picture is of the pump we installed. December 10, 2008 at 1:29 AM. So far behind that it is in front? Http:/ ...

Johann Rissik: General Cycling Stuff
http://johannrissik.blogspot.com/2008/11/general-cycling-stuff.html
Tuesday, November 18, 2008. This snippet from South African War history:. At Graaff Reinet five hundred bicycles were confiscated under military orders.(Where are they now? I've spent quite some time during the last two weeks doing an apprenticeship under Olaf at Crosstown Cycles recently (mostly doing the highly-skilled, technical stuff like hanging new racks and fixing punctures).

Johann Rissik: March 2009
http://johannrissik.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html
Monday, March 16, 2009. An Argus of Note. There's no dust in Cape Town, just flying sand and debris. Now that all the hype's said and done, it was a great Argus (and future ones can probably only be better). With surprisingly little training (some 20km rides, one 65km race and two rides along the Boyes Drive bit), we acquitted ourselves rather well. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Johann Rissik: Prince Albert Dikwiel Kommando
http://johannrissik.blogspot.com/2009/02/prince-albert-dikwiel-kommando.html
Thursday, February 12, 2009. Prince Albert Dikwiel Kommando. Thirteen ultra elite members of the international super-extreme cycling fraternity have recently earned the right to call themselves Members of the Prince Albert Dikwiel Kommando. This hectic event took place under challenging circumstances, with a committed group of four struggling to set the record during the inaugural running of the event. They eventually succeeded, setting the bar at 20h30min. Try beating that. Jan "Nou gaan ek Ry" Nel.
