Dusty Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Eish. They are cycling in mid 40 deg temps. Tough. Should hit Swaziland today.
DJR Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 .............. Gary had a great start to the day and mixed up his bum lubricant with his toothpaste. Luckily he only had a stinging rear end not a mouth full of Fissan paste. It could have been far worse. Just a tingle and some bubbles
johannrissik Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Gary just had to turn around at the Swaziland birder with an expired passport.....
Underachiever Posted October 6, 2015 Posted October 6, 2015 Gary just had to turn around at the Swaziland birder with an expired passport.....Gary, Gary, Gary!!! Now what? Does this mean race over?
cat-i Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Gary just had to turn around at the Swaziland birder with an expired passport..... Noooooo! So he can't go to the checkpoint at Piggs Peak? Hoping he's just skipping that checkpoint and continue?
cat-i Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Gary, Gary, Gary!!! Now what? Does this mean race over? No news on website From Twitter: Penalty and continue Yaaay Go Gary Go!!
DJR Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Gary just had to turn around at the Swaziland birder with an expired passport..... Outch. Birder crossings can be a bit unfriendly!
Shebeen Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Gary just had to turn around at the Swaziland birder with an expired passport.....surely all he needed was a bit of ca$h to get over?!
Dusty Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 He's got to get into Lesotho too I think? Hope he can organise before then.
Underachiever Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 No news on website From Twitter: Penalty and continue Yaaay Go Gary Go!!See from his Stava comments that Gary had to withdraw - crack rear rim :-(
Sepia Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 See from his Stava comments that Gary had to withdraw - crack rear rim :-(Noooo!!!Bad luck indeed.
_freak_ Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 This year is really taking its toll on the riders... half the field has retired already on day 3... But that Steffan bloke is really killing it it!!
GaryvdM Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Man, I'm very sad that I'm out. But I really enjoyed what I road, and I've sure learnt a lot. I'm sure I will be back next year (with the right passport, and 36 spoke wheels) for redemption.
GaryvdM Posted October 7, 2015 Posted October 7, 2015 Andy has got some really good write ups on what's happening on the race blog and good pics to: http://www.transafrikabikerace.com/race-blog/

It was great 'knowing' someone out there to follow .... thank you for the entertainment, albeit briefly
