Setting the bar high!

I went past this bike going up Op die Tradouw. It caught my eye which is interesting considering the amount of bikes there. I was going to say something to the rider, but I couldn't breathe...

She's at WP10 with A2

Freek Van Tonder has put the hammer down!! Him and JD left Sutherland at the same time, but there's now almost 20km between them and he's right on the heels of Sthembiso!

What is the orange JOC following MM? I know all the other oranges, but I can't work out what JOC is.

He needs this test: https://www.quizrocket.com/stupid-test

Correct. Madness!

Ok, it updated again, she's back on track

Jeannie Dreyer has just started riding the wrong way out of Sutherland?!

They're about to pull into the water point together - going to be interesting to see who goes first

He's had a few stops, but not for very long

The weather in the first half of last year was terrible - looks to have been a lot better this year

Yip, double hip replacement.

I never went that far - I just use the Keto products as a regular person, and for me they work well.

I've used all of the Keto products (the benefit of riding with an ambassador!) and really find that they work well, especially for long distance rides. No hunger, no stomach pain, plenty energy, no cramps, no flat spots - really no downside. And they taste good. I've been to the talks that they hold as well, and the science behind it is fascinating. Guy is also a veggie, so even more low carb than most. http://ketonutrition.co.za/ *I am not being paid by them and this is not a paid for advertisement

While we're busy listing some riders achievements, I thought I'd post Guy Jennings' "CV" from his Keto page (Keto sponsor him / he's a Keto ambassador): I did an Everest Challenge with him, and when I was crying inside, unable to hold a conversation and was literally falling asleep going down the hill, he was just cruising along like it was a Sunday stroll. On a fatbike nogal! He's got the stamina for this kind of riding. He finished 12th last year and is currently in 12th position at 500km.

His pulley wheel in his RD snapped at 18km!

Riccardo Stermin has caught up really well after his disaster yesterday! Great going!

What bike is she on?

He's back on track and near the front. phew! Crisis averted. Must have been a tracker issue.

That's very cool! I don't normally see ads but I see the live tracking! Nice idea!

I'm hoping a tracker issue. We did lots of gps navigational rides, so don't think he'll have made a mistake - certainly not this early!

He's put in so much effort for this race!

And as for Andrew Eve, he had a hard enough time just getting to the start ????

Guy Jennings getting ready to start. I got this bike ready, so hopefully there's no issues with it! He came 12th last year, lets see what he can do this year!
