I ran out of steam 10 km from end (63) but those Bar One's at the last table saved my life and got me home.

 

Left my second skin at home and froze in just my cycling top.

 

Saw a good couple of folk bail out and take the tar road back.

That first 20 odd km's of head gale force wrecked me! Enjoyed it tho, got my money's worth.

 

Hope the guys bailing didn't go over the finish line, coz results will be buggered then again..

Lanklaas so in my moer gewees! Het goed gevoel in die begin (te vinnig begin!!!) en saammet 2 top 10 diesel engins teen die noordwester gewerk. Kon voel eks besig om te veel matches te burn, maar wat maak 'n ou nou as jy in so wind sit, met niemand in sig agter jou! Het gebars net om in die slip te bly, darem gehelp as dit my beurt was!

Needless to say toe ek daai muur slaan met so 10 om te gaan moes ek diep delf om nie die teerpad te vat! Moet sê die bar one by lasaste water was n lifesaver! Darem net onder 3 uur ingekom, so seker nie te bad, maar so wil ek nooit weer op 'n fiets voel!

THAT wind...gosh..! I had to do 3/4 of that first flat section on my own, the first 1/4 my "colleague" dropped out with tech problems, I've never in my life felt I had to almost hit the granny gear on a straight!! Gusts stopped me almost dead in my tracks! Voluntary suffering is my favourite pass time, confirmed it yesterday...I managed a 3:04, if I pushed harder I wouldve typed this post from a hospital bed! An Absolute WELLDONE to every person and especially the ladies (Cherie Vale, Rapunzel) that took the bull by the horns and stuck it out! Stunning route, well marked, and Red Bull rocks!

Will be there on a black Bulls hardtail. Name is Greg. Say "hi" if you want.

 

I was bitterly dissapointed when I busted my lungs in the fisrt 5km's to get to a guy with a black Bulls bike and.."Hi, are you Greg?..uhm, no, I'm Matt..." Atleast I was looking out for you Copperhead! Next time!
