Thanks TheoG - appreciate your response.👊

Does anybody know whether the gate at SBR is opening at 06:00 by now? I tried to phone but the number does not work.

Ja, I've been waiting impatiently for the final instalment(s) of your awesome blog... 😄

What a great read!! Thanks for taking the time to share your ride with us. Loved it!

Found a Cateye computer this morning (25 October 2021) at the 4-way intersection of Westcliff Drive and Waterfall Road, Westcliff, JHB. Please send me a PM if it might be yours.

I also received my copy of the book over the weekend and could not put it down. It is a fabulous read for both prospective Munga entrants and past finishers. Rob has a great way of telling the story and sharing his experience in an authentic and unpretentious manner. I loved all of it!

What is the situation with drafting this year? Are they still adopting the laissez-faire approach of "draft away, as long as you don't want any prize money"?

Jip, seems like it. Hope he's okay.

I see Simon Rollo is making good progress on his way to De Aar! Three other riders also off course. It breaks my heart to see this.

Thanks for posting Rolling Stone. Was great to watch bits of it.

Thanks! A wealth of information there!

Thanks for all the input on bottle cages!!

Do any of you guys have experience in fitting bottles cages to the down tubes of your front fork? Any do's and don'ts? Suggestions on what bottle cages to use and how to attach them to the fork? Etc. My "team mate" and I will carry two bottles in our frames and the plan is to carry two further bottles each on our forks. The obvious aim is to try to keep as much weight off our backs as we can. Would appreciate any advice, thanks.

My reberb seatpost also has a bit of sideways play out of the box. Was very worried until I found this thread. Thanks guys!

Great writing River Rat! Also doing the Trail - will listen out for Blue and Red.
