Marnitz Nienaber Posted July 20, 2013 Author Posted July 20, 2013 looks like you're getting slower, maybe you're over the hill old man! Ps. This oke is a legend, passion pumps through his veins Yeah getting older and wiser, finished 6th with 3 broken ribs & a day in sick bed (stomach bug) and 5th (6 hour daylight penalty split between 2 days at the same support station = 18 hours) So maybe I'm getting slowed........
Tumbleweed Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 What was the penalty for? Hope you come right with a sponsor!
Thug Posted July 21, 2013 Posted July 21, 2013 (edited) What was the penalty for? Hope you come right with a sponsor! IIRC, Marnitz changed bikes. Was initially on a tandem with his boet who got injured and withdrew. Edited July 21, 2013 by Thug

Marnitz Nienaber Posted July 22, 2013 Author Posted July 22, 2013 The trail takes participants up and over several of South Africa's most remote and beautiful mountain ranges, and across the endless semi-desert Karoo, into the winelands of the Cape. It is done in June, the middle of winter, which means that conditions include blizzards and snow, fierce wind, and below zero temperatures. Riders face an overall ascent of 37 000m over the 2 300km, and have 26 days in which to finish. Finishers don't get a medal or monetary prize, just a warm Basotho blanket. Support stations are positioned every 100km, where riders get meals, a bed and a chance to wash their gear. Ahead of the race they submit two-litre tubs containing anything extra they want for the event, which are sent to the support stations. Other than that, they carry everything they need on their backs. They are not permitted to carry a GPS, and must rely only on maps and written directions from the race organiser, David Waddilove http://www.freedomchallenge.org.za/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1082:painforgotten&catid=60:newsflash
Marnitz Nienaber Posted January 24, 2014 Author Posted January 24, 2014 The new year has come and I am still in need of a sponsorship, please assist if possible. R 30 000 is needed to keep the wheels rolling...... Here's another side to the Freedom story https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/126546-2013-freedom-challenge-updates/page__hl__freedom%20challenge
