Matt Posted November 4, 2011 Share Very sad start to the W2W. Condolences to the families. TRAGEDY overshadowed the start of a Cape adventure mountain bike race today when three men, who were preparing part of the trail, were swept out to sea. One of the bodies was washed ashore and the police diving unit resumed its search for the other two men at first light today. The three had been preparing part of the track yesterday for the Contego Wine2Whales MTB Adventure.

Tiny K Posted November 4, 2011 Share RIP. Don't understand why they had to collect seawater when there is a shower/tap and bathroom right next to the beach. I think it is because of the belief that it still has healing properties.... although these days I think there is more fecal content in sea water than tap water especially along the coast with higher concentration at river mouths Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bikekid Posted November 4, 2011 Share RIP. Don't understand why they had to collect seawater when there is a shower/tap and bathroom right next to the beach. As far as I know they use it as a medicine so to speak. Got an upset stomach drink seawater and you kotch everything out. Pretty common up in KZN RIP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
