Everesting riders in South Africa!

[Tubehunter]

Respect - are they the 1st guys to complete 1 in South Africa?

 

Think they are the first in Africa. Seen a comment like that thrown about. (Stand to be corrected though)

Respect

WOW. Pretty awesome. This is something I seriously want to do. Just.....in Pta it is almost impossible!

[Spinnekop]

HUGE congrats and loads of respect earned.

Would be awesome to get some backstory on this! (One of the 4 that made it is the son of the editor of the magazine...)

I'm so gonna do something like this, but will check out a different route. The Glen road is very narrow and some chaps like to wind up along that road pretending it's the Pikes Peak hill challenge or something. Can't see myself spending the whole day riding this stretch of road!

Well done, quite a challenge!

Hi Guys

 

Just to let you know the rider who ended up in hospital (me) is fine. I simply ate something that reacted badly with my stomach and tried to ride through it.

 

You can find a brief story about the ride at

In the next couple of days I will be writing an article for bicycling.co.za which you will be able to find at wwww.bicycling.co.za/blogs

 

Finally; more info on the event and why we did it can be found at;

Great stuff, man.

What a story. Don't hold back on the details in that blog.

Just to put it in perspective a bit. Those of you that have done Kowyns Pass in Graskop.....you will have to do it 19times. It will take you roughly 13 hours. INSANE!
