Morning.

 

Just want to share with you.

 

We were climbing the tar road on the Mosterdhoek farm and there were farm workers, mostly women and children cheering the riders on. We past and greeted as always and one of the riders behind us asked the question:

 

"Het julle nie vir my n engine nie?"  The reply was absolutely amazing. "Nee meneer, ons het nie entjies ( cigarettes ) nie, ons het net twak!" 

 

We burst out laughing at that remark. It was really funny at that stage.

Thank you for the excellent pictures - my wife and I are still pretty miffed that we missed the box of wine we would have won for the pictures on facebook. I think she posted one of me just as I finished kissing my 3 year old daughter. 

 

So nice to read about the support from the farm workers. All I ever seem to get is "chocolate please". Can't wait for next year. Six years ago when I did my first Fine Breede it was just another MTB, now it has become something I look forward to a year in advance.
