IH8MUD Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Look like some . . . . .(NH, RS and JM) struggle with navigation . .
Grantc Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Look like some . . . . .(NH, RS and JM) struggle with navigation . . I thought they were following GPS routes
Zatopek Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I don't know neither of John Ntuli nor Chris Van Zyl - do they have a track record in these type of events? Entrants can be a bit of an unknown in new events like these
nathrix Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Current positions: John Ntuli: 103.8 km; Chris Van Zyl: 103.3 km; Grant Usher: 102.3 km; Trevor Seinen: 98.1 km; Amy Mcdougall: 97.8 km; (0 minutes ago) -- at 04:06:01 PM (SAST) 12/02/15
Andrew Steer Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I don't know neither of John Ntuli nor Chris Van Zyl - do they have a track record in these type of events? Entrants can be a bit of an unknown in new events like these John is one of Martin Dreyers Change a Life riders - I would expect he has been well prepped for this. Chris I think is a 24hour racer, but I'm not sure. Being on the front now though is not necessarily a good thing...
Slowbee Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 100km in what 5 odd hours - with another 900km to go .... mm I think things will look a lot different in the morning
Slowbee Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 what is interesting looking at the start pics, is just how little they are actually carrying. DO they plan on wearing the same kit for 2 or 3 days ? or is there a bag drop half way ?
_C50_ Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I don't know neither of John Ntuli nor Chris Van Zyl - do they have a track record in these type of events? Entrants can be a bit of an unknown in new events like these Chris has done the Paris-Brest-Paris before (more than once if i'm not mistaken). Admittedly it's on the road but he does have good experience in these type of ultra-endurance events.

Larry King Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 what is interesting looking at the start pics, is just how little they are actually carrying. DO they plan on wearing the same kit for 2 or 3 days ? or is there a bag drop half way ?There are no bags what you carry is what you have, which makes this so much cooler. No outside assistance at all.
Velouria Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 I don't know neither of John Ntuli nor Chris Van Zyl - do they have a track record in these type of events? Entrants can be a bit of an unknown in new events like these Chris is also a regular 24hr racer - tough as nails, with a head that can deal with the demons! Does have a bit of a habit of going out too hard
Zatopek Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Kobus Barnard is the dentist from Outshoorn? ...I would be careful the next time I sit in his chair for repairs - he seems to be willing to keep going for a long time
Slowbee Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 Chris is also a regular 24hr racer - tough as nails, with a head that can deal with the demons! Does have a bit of a habit of going out too hardwould you consider doing this ?
Velouria Posted December 2, 2015 Posted December 2, 2015 would you consider doing this ?Definitely. I think it has to be on any bucket list Something to tell the kids about.
