I've only missed one Barberton race since 2009, so will see you there next year Ben.

 

Have a score to settle with that marathon climb.

Mmmmm.... at least you know what to expect :)

 

Can't wait to see all of you there. Please spread the word

Love your quote... 

 

As long as we get another of your excellent stories around the canoeing adventures! Good luck - hope it works out, but Barberton's not a bad backup plan...

We are not sure what we should be hoping for... but either way, Good luck should be in order

Maybe just a suggestion - this year that grassy singletrack winding upwards through the forest on top of the mountain was not great.  It was not challenging enough to make us feel we accomplished something, but also not flowing to be enjoyable, it really just sapped time and energy.

 

Rest of the route is just brilliant, see you in January

He's had a rough couple of weeks because he was at Loftus the week before and experienced the first half humiliation by the Lions. By now that is insignificant compared to the Springbok defeat, but it still hurt...

 

He's definitely going to Barberton - also considering the Ultra this time around! We're doing the Berg & Bush together in a couple of weeks and use it as the start of the base training for Barberton... 

Game on boys!

Thank you for the feedback - I'll make sure it reaches the correct people.

Is that campground in town still operational? It had been up for sale by the council (no doubt some junior Councillor wanted a new Merc.)

 

+1 on this question...? I phoned and the number doesn't exist... 

 

Is it still around?
