SwissVan Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Right... Decided to wait till amy comes in then go to bed All downhill to box time....it must be a feeling of relief for riders when they get to those last 20 km's..assuming the profile view is not lying
Bat Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Looks like Amy might have a mechanical 9 km from home. She has been in the same spot for 8min now.
BenGraham Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 What is happening to Amy. She appears to be stationary so close to the finish. It almost looks like she could walk the rest.
Stretch Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 First woman across the line @amymacmtb in 83hrs 56mins! 8th overall. Awesome Amy!
Bat Posted December 5, 2015 Posted December 5, 2015 Well done Amy. Not only 1st of the ladies, but 8th overall. Now she is a mean machine. A nice feminized one of course.
cat-i Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Hannele Steyn, Mike woolnough and justice makhale also done
River Rat Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 So the posse of back markers made to RV 4 at 1:30am about 1,5 hrs behind my little schedule . They need to get going now if they're going to have any chance of making it. I'm afraid it's a case of sleep less and ride more boys, WAKE UP!
StevieL Posted December 6, 2015 Author Posted December 6, 2015 (Wo)Man of the match for me, what with the extra 150km detour and still finishing in 11th and the 2nd woman home... Hats off. Respect, Hanele Steyn...
River Rat Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I see my posse of 7 (JM seems to have joined them) hasn't moved, WAKE UP boys, WAKE UP!
Bianchi Baby Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Just been reading what the race entry of R15 000 includes: Food and accommodation for all 5 days - I think the group of back markers are eating all the winners food and sleeping all their sleep Getting their full money's worth!!!!

Respect, Hanele Steyn... image.jpegHave to agree with you there, those are serious setbacks in a race this big. She just got back on track and carried on with it. Looked touch and go with 2nd for a while but she pushed through.
johanpre44 Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 I see my posse of 7 (JM seems to have joined them) hasn't moved, WAKE UP boys, WAKE UP!So these guys have another 290km to go, question is how they are planning to finish before tomorrow at 12 (27 hours left). I thought they would have started early to try and get to the Tankwa stop before midday and wait for the worst of the heat to pass before heading to race village 5.

River Rat Posted December 6, 2015 Posted December 6, 2015 Looks like they finally decided to roll out, heat must be picking up quickly.I think they've decided to do an all-nighter which is a brave decision. WVD hasn't gone with them unless his tracker update is delayed.
