rad006 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Posted August 1, 2013 So rad. How was it. We want a ride report. Hi Guys Yep 4th Mixed Team 32nd Overall Well what an adventure, nevermind the race getting there is where it all started... A stupid GPS took us via the Lesotho boarder post and on a 400km sand road journey...16 hrs later we arrived at Morgans bay with a scratched new car as I had to drive through a bush tunnel and swamps to get there.. Note to self do not take 1st Morgans Bay offramp from the N2 as thats where the bush tunnel was... This race is amazing but difficult if you have not done it before as there is no marked route and can take a shortcut anywhere you want be but aware sometimes its not a shortcut... Day 1 After climbing the first hill really quickly we joined up with the front group of elite men putting us into first mixed place but that was lost as we got lost and ended up seeing a ship wreck so we last our advantage and ended up with 4th place in mixed which we fought to keep the whole way through. My ITB problem flaired up as the portages become more difficult so this slowed me down on the fast flats but I powered on... Day 2 Was probably our best day/ Day 3 My partner fell and hurt her knee we had to nurse her for the rest of the stage but she is one tough cookie. Day 4 We were glad it was over... the longest stage took us +- 6hrs 4mins Coming back home wasn't so eventful but took 11hrs... But now the best part...just as I think my adventure had ended I started getting sick... What do I get???Flippen Tick Bite Fever so dying with pain and headaches at the moment... But after a 10yr wait I think it was worth it!!! Skylark, Ed-Zulu, fanievb and 2 others 5
