TALUS Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I hope this gets the recognition it deserves on other social media too. Very well done. Rocket-Boy, nathrix and EmptyB 3
nathrix Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 I hope this gets the recognition it deserves on other social media too. Very well done. I hope so too. Word from some of the riders I've spoken to is that Alex did a fantastic job as race director, above and beyond! At the water points on the farms the riders went through, the people fell over their feet to help or accommodate the riders where they could right through the nights. Alex is in fact tracing the route back at this moment stopping at each and every location to thank them for their hospitality and for making this race such a success!

Slowbee Posted December 8, 2015 Posted December 8, 2015 i really hope he keeps the numbers down - if even 200 riders do this the "special" stuff these folk do by offering their homes goes out the window. i say keep it small, keep it exclusive, and if it works, dont be shy to charge for it Tatt 1

Stretch Posted December 9, 2015 Posted December 9, 2015 First part of Mike's thoughts on the Munga is on his blog at http://mikewoolnough.blogspot.co.za/ 2 things stand out Within a few kilometres we were riding down our first gravel road. The people in front of me snaked all over the road — the first corrugations. Switching across the road looking for the sweet spot would become an all too common experience during the race. Some roads simply didn't have a good riding line and you settled for something just short of awful. Less than two hours in I rolled in to the first of many sandpits. It was not unlike the well trampled sand at the top end of a Durban beach. In places there were no ways around the wretched stuff as the track was hemmed in by freshly ploughed lands. Ahead of me I saw Tim Brink pushing his skinny wheeled Gravel Bike through the thick sand and thought wryly that he may well have preferred a fat bike at this stage. In any event, I rode up on the grassy edges where I could and eventually ended up plodding through the sand. Sand cleared, I saddled up, pointed my bike in the direction of the purple line on my GPS screen, and headed off toward water point 1.
