haahaaaa. Sharp Mr Brink. Very sharp

.

Liewe Bliksem. I have got serious post Munga blues. I need to climb on my bike and ride....... for long, very long.

With the fantasyic powerbank that you get in your goodie bag. Never needed my other one

Edge 800. No issues Pal.

Brilliant!I wrote my review for Ride Mag yesterday. I swear it is almost a mirror image of your review. Just more detailed but essentially the same

Sure Bro. Im busy with a guy called Brendon. They dont offer a shipping option to SA anymore. All the parcels get lost they say.He arranges orders from SA manually with shipping through FedexHe is working out a quote for me. I will PM you

No. Had there been hardcore technical sections probably.

HT all the way . It was amazing how many HT bikes with Lauf forks there were. And if you really want to go hardcore, you put a Jones H Bar on as well..Im already ordering mine.The mechanics were working overtime with the duals. That fine baby powder dust gets in every where. I had no issues at all.

Hahaahaa. Ja I also ran out if excuses. Believe me Bud. It is doable. It will change your outlook on life in terms of that you are capable of as a human being

I think an edge 500 will do the job. I think I saw one one Gerald Celes bike

I left my extreme light at home and took a led lenzer commuting light. Wrong decision imo. Next time I will take the extreme light. The led lenzer was super heavy on AAA batteries and didnt give sufficient light. It was full moon so there were times when I could ride without any lights on. But on the scary surfaces, an extreme light would gave been a better option.

We were in Sutherland I think. I was really tired, physically but more mentally from lack of sleep. My ass was smashed. Just before we left I wanted to apply some Fissan paste to my bum as I knew what was waiting for me. By that time people didnt care anymore, you pull your bibs down apply whatever and dont give a crap if anybody is watching. I dropped my bibs reached into my bag grabbed the tube , squirted a liberal amount into my hand and applied in one fluid motion. The tingling was instant,.I had squirted and applied colgate toothpaste! The poor lady had to bring me a wet towel to clean myself with.It gave those present a good laugh.

Okes if any of you consider doing this ride and I really want you to, I will answer any questions on here or pm. That would be the view of an average rider as some of you may be. For guys wanting to klap it. Maybe rather chat to Benky. He is in a different league.

I noticed some of the big guns were wearing two bibs. I saw Tracy Campbell wrapping her extra bibs and warm jacket over her saddle and then taping it to the seatpost in Sutherland. So her bum must have been really eina.

Hi SB, in hindsight, I could have shaved 12 hours off my time. I plan to try again with the benifit of hindsight and see what I can do. I always wanted to finish in around 4 days but I knew that it may not happen due the the weather etc. But small things like not sleeping in vd kloof saves 3 hours. That a lot of time just for one good decision.

I think she stopped at the Tankwa Padstal.Think. There was carnage from there to ceres. Still moer far to go.Edit: Just confirmed above as correct

Saw Louis Fourie at the airport yesterday. He showed me pics of his backside. Good Lord above it looks bad. Like in very bad. He used a local ansthetic cream during the ride. So he couldnt feel the damage that he was doing to himself.It is raw meat, I kid you not. When a went to my doctor pre munga and asked for a prescription for the cream, he refused. He said I must be able to feel what is going on downstairs.I was upset with him. Today I am thankful. When I asked for decent pain pills, he told me that you dont need a prescription for Panado. Im glad that I listened to him. My ass was wrecked, believe me. But not like his is. He had to sit for the take off and landing. The rest of the time, he stood in the isle. I tip . Shammy cream by Biogen worked well until a point. A medic advised from Sutherland to use vaseline..I smeared it in the pad like a teenager smears jam on his sarmie. Thick. It took me through to the end.
