Mankele 3 Towers

[solo65]

Another one in the bag and it gets better every year . Going down the Avalance I lost the chain and after the fix I was about the jump back onto the trail when I heard a bike coming down at a moerse spoed . The poor gentleman misjudged his speed and the space he had to overtake and hit me on the back wheel . He went flying over the handle bars and badly cut his leg but also managed to break his rear brake lever . Could have been very ugly but luckly he did not break any bones .

 

I saw this, it was my team mate and fellow hubber flyit who bounced on every corner of his body. Followed him down the avalanche with no back brakes and a flat front wheel. That was a handfull.

OK, so I've been raving to everyone about 3 Towers, but I do have 1 small suggestions....the breakfast...

I feel that could use some eggs, bacon, mushrooms...it was quite boring IMHO.

 

but that's it, the rest was incredible.

Team Name: Gadingy (& my better half is just awesome, she insisted on not being assisted, wanted the right to say she did it herself, her 1st 3T, my 2nd) - 2012 Time 14:03:42

 

My 2011 time - 15:56:13 (is it crazy that i chopped nearly 2 hours?), admittedly i was more shattered last year and rode day 2 with another guy who was taking strain so that was a long day.

I had bacon and eggs every morning. Didn't touch any of those sweet stuff at the water points, neither the potatoes.

Nope, was Day3, up the climb in the shade where i was taking pics of the awesome view, same place i got the pic of you.

Weapon of choice noted and i expect to see this fulfilled, or maybe ride in a COW suit, that'll warm things up a bit
