I'll get some details tomorrow and post it here.

It would be great if daily updates about their progress could be posted as soon as they cross the border in to S.A. Like most people I can't be in Slaapstad to welcome them but I'm sure cycling enthusiasts who find themselves near or on their route to CT would love to cheer them on.

Hi all,

I think a real hero's welcome should be in order on their arrival down south.

Even if I was, and I'm not,I would not bother to meet them - I would not be able to keep up - 35km/hr wow. That is moving.

Well done to the "MEN"

Regards

Sarge

Just crossed the border into SA!! Yes!! Was a bit emotional thinking of all the times I almost quit and what we have been through over the last month . This thing has been like the Hunger Games of cycling or a reality tv show .10 individuals never met before thrown together into such a pressurized environment and made to survive. Not done yet but on home turf now and smiling more today than I have in weeks.

10,700km in 38 days.

 

You did it....the world record is yours.

Makes me want to buy a Swift with Campagnolo Super Record.  :thumbup:

Well done guys.

Does anyone know if there was anyone to meet them at the end point in Cape Town?

Seems like a bit of a anti climax.

Very poorly supported.

 

But also...very poorly advertised.

 

Its a shame...cos its a truly remarkeable and noteworthy achievement.

would never have though a bike like that would have been able to cope with those conditions. (I'm assuming no failures along the route)

 

Just shows carbon done right rally is quite good.

 

wonder how many other bike brand CEO's could ride those kms???
