Route 69 result

Grant finished 14th out of 90 riders in his class, I am so very proud of him. It was such a lovely day. We got up at stupid O'clock to take Grant all the way out to Maropeng - Cradle of Mankind, we waited for him to start the race and then went in search of somewhere nice to have breakfast. Jordy and I ended up at a place called Mellon Rouge, a quirky little place that not only serves yummy breakfasts but has a little antique/vintage clothes/old book/bric or brac shop as well. We then headed through to the finish line and waited for grant to finish. It was so cool when they announced him by name coming through the finish line. Jordy and I cheered and whooped. After a couple of drinks, we decided against staying there for lunch as Grant was rather grimy (ok actually disgustingly filthy), so off home we went for Grant to clean up then out for an early dinner. Such a wonderful Sunday.
Till next time

Not so shiney and bright at the finish (but still smiling)
