Male or female?

 

isn't Sven's wife (Anka) doing it too? I know she did last year?

 

Male, I think.

 

Oh, and the results I posted above were for day 3. Sven is 12th overall, and Gary is 23rd.

 

Anka is lying 41st. Top woman is the legend Anne-Caroline Chausson in 24th.

I had no idea Sven would be right up there.. leading the AM class! And poor Gary being chased down by Anne Caroline.. wonder when he will reach into his bag o tricks, sure he packed one!

 

Stage racing down a hill, love it!

Man Id love to give this a go. Really impressed by Sven was following his tweets before it started and it seemed as if he hadnt done alot of riding before hand. Im hoping Gary can get up into the top 15 by the end still a long way to go.

Sven has slipped a bit (18th), Anka has gained (39th), and Barnard is sitting steady.

heck yeah! Even just a 3 day!

 

At the beginning of the year a friend and myself had the idea to have an advenure ride (similar to this

one).

 

The plan was to get dropped off somewhere in/near the berg by friends as they were on their way down to midmar. Probably about 2-3 days ride out from the dam.

 

But yeah, life got busy and we got lazy

 

...but maybe next year?!

Im keen to get one going ...

when compared to the top guys

 

oh, in that case, yes. But heck, the top guys sit for 4 to 5 hours a day, then still do IDT sessions, right?

Oi! SSSSHHHHH! I have an IDT. And lycra. But I wear it under my baggies, and they have holes in them. Plus, I look like a pervert in lycra.

Chill guys, Can't _ ZA is nowhere near this thread. Too rough and too many baggies.
