Speaker 1 (00:00):
Because some journeys are better taken together. Let's walk the talk.
Speaker 2 (00:04):
Seven. When was the last time you went to the
cinema to go watch a film? And you remember watching
Form that.
Speaker 3 (00:10):
Was Mission Impossible as well, and I got the big
popcorn of course and the water of course, and that
was all yeah.
Speaker 1 (00:16):
No chocolate.
Speaker 3 (00:17):
No, Actually I didn't, I know, I know, done you
and for that time I didn't.
Speaker 4 (00:24):
Also it was the earliest I no. I lied with Ballerina.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
I'd seen Vision Impossible the week before and then I
went to see John Wick Ballerina and it was like
eleven o'clock.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
Screening or something.
Speaker 1 (00:33):
So nothing wrong with having I know, I know, I know,
I know.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It was a Sunday, and you know on a Sunday
you always have afterwards and you have a big lunch
and then you have so I think I was saving
myself then. But I do like the big popcorn.
Speaker 1 (00:47):
Yeah yeah, and which started to use.
Speaker 3 (00:50):
The cheese and chives the best, the best you could
be my movie.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But absolutely I just want to have water, though you'll
have the only time I have a sugar intake is
when I'm watching the Form, so I will ironically, it's
the only time I have crim soda. By the way,
the only takes nice I consume crim soda is when
I go to the film, I mean to the cinema.
Speaker 4 (01:10):
I think I'm gonna do that. That's a nice one
to have.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You obviously have to tell us about what wonderful activities
we should consider.
Speaker 1 (01:16):
In how Tang and in the Cape try, we start
in how tank Let's.
Speaker 3 (01:19):
Do the houting Pipe Track Series three is happening in
Queenswood in Pretoria and it's at eight a m. But
first I'm going to get the question from you. I
know what is a pump track. A pump track is
a twisting, looping roller full track that you ride with
our peddling, so you pump your body and you're going
up and down the bumps spilt at speed. But in
(01:39):
our cases it's BMX meets skate parks. You're gonna use
you are going to use your bicycle, your mountain bike
or your BMX bike. It is gonna have pedals, but
you're going to try and get around the course as
quick as possible. Timers get riders get timed on the
laps to see how they can do on the leaderboard,
and only the five riders per class hit the final
to battle it out HOWTINGBMX dot C. It's going to
(02:01):
be a great one. Even if you haven't entered, go
check out. Some of the best are on the bikes
out there. Then the Pilansburg outright is happening from Land,
Syria off Money Boungware drive through to the Pilansburg with
the thirty K, a twenty eight K and a twenty
six K speed t DK speed twenty eight k speed
and a twenty six k speed and there is a
(02:21):
shuttle back so you can cycle there and then shuttle back.
It's going to have world class safety support, well organized stops,
goodie bags, so really great event. And then Leon Pisada
not spring book fuss bait in Pretoria. Let's say that
again quickly. The Leon Bisada notes springbook fuss bait happening
in Pretoria. That's on Saturday the twelfth, and it starts
(02:42):
from seven to twenty the twenty one point one at
ten and a five K, so it's not just a run,
it's fussbait like a Springbok at that one. So jating,
quite busy and quite active this weekend.
Speaker 2 (02:54):
Absolutely despite the cold weather. It's zero degrees in Johannesburg
to game minus one in for the and I think
it's like one or two in Pretoria at the minimum
this morning.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Oh okay, please just do those layers when you go
out to the start line because it is quite chilly
and tackling warm afterwards.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
Absolutely in the Cape.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
In the Cape, we've got an activity for the youngsters
happening this weekend.

a fifty five as well as an eighty six mountain
bike or one hundred kilometer road challenge are on the

their women's that it's called Ladies That Punch, Almost said
Women That Punch. Ladies That Punch sponsored by Stanley.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
Till the twenty third of October, every Tuesday and every
Thursday evening and it's a beginner course for those who
have never been to a boxing studio.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
But what I do love about it when you do
a get part of it.
Speaker 3 (05:02):
They are giving free stanleys to everyone joining our next
Ladies That Punch course, so that's one exciting reason to join,
and to support the Menstruation Foundation request to end period poverty.
They do a donation and a drop off point, so
that's a great tie in and it's.
Speaker 4 (05:18):
Just a lovely one.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
A lot of the people that go to this are
new in Cape Town or have made new friends and.
Speaker 4 (05:24):
Discovered new communities and new networks.
Speaker 3 (05:26):
So it's not just about the fitness and the greater
chance to just learn to box, it's also about the camaraderie,
making new friends and entries for this book up very
very quickly. That's why I'm telling you about it now.
Armory Boxing dot com. Just get hold of the team
on their website. They've posted off the details and they've
got those drop off points for sanitary towels.
Speaker 4 (05:48):

using this ladies event to give back to Menstruation Foundation.
Speaker 2 (05:58):

we want to make sure that everyone has a good
time and we have to limit the number of walkers
that we can have at the event. It's happening on
