I collected a grey rhebok during freedom challenge. nothing on the scale of this beast, but still pretty scary!

also came damn close to running over a porcupine during expedition africa this year. after about 90 hours of racing we were flying down a hill on a dark dark night. the four of us with beeeg lights startled a group and the one guy changed his mind at the last second, was soo close i could see his quills swept back and little legs flying to avoid my front wheel. helped keep me awake for the next few hours!

Seeing that RHB can weigh anything between 120 and 150kg (avg females and males), and can reach speeds up to 65km/h. Lets call it 60km/h, other source said 55km/h, so take it somewhere in the middle. Weight 135kg (in the middle)... That's a massive 2,250 kg-m/s !!!

thank you - thats mean! - and in discussion here in the office we are reckoning closet to 200+kg of mass

At Crater Cruise they said that a UCI rule says no helmet cameras, Mp3 playesr etc. 'unneccesary equipment'

 

I am now donners scared to moer down in front of someone at a race in case it becomes a case of 'international ridicule' as it would be in my case ....
