You are correct Johann, a combination device would be ideal.

It would really work for me if the rider's name tags could keep the same colour......I don't understand why they change arbitrarily?

 

 

btw: Nice covering of snow on the Swartberg this morning #thatsoursummerwater

That is shocking news. 

Obviously not only for John but for everyone that has suffered .

 

My thoughts are with everyone.

[dirtrider]

Very sad news .

 

I see Phillipa and John B will be entertaining us this year with their route choices . Wish I was there with them to see all the new places .

It was like -5 on my last bike ride on the 6th frozen pudlles and ponds on the shade sides of the Hills. I could just smell the snow in the air. Back on my home couch for dot watching now.

Not as lot of action currently but I already got a few candidates that I will be following closely . I just got this feeling that my 2015 efforts are gonna be put to shame .

Shane done so well until now.....hope he corrects soon, otherwise the Lesotho border patrol could be chatting to him in about an hour or so.

[johannrissik]

The worst bit (for me) is watching him and resisting the urge to "help". I am pretty sure he knows where he is, just to decide whether he goes down and up or around ...................

Can I say, I simply love following this ride.

 

But, the comments on this thread are just as awesome.

 

I dont know which I like more, following the ride, or following the thread!

This thread is the worst.......you sit here, deep in frustration watching other people having the experience of a lifetime.

 

It got so bad this morning I had to get on my bike But not for long as I had to get home in a hurry.....

I would really have loved to do this...but I would need a couple of years to reach the endurance levels required.My friends Stewart Lombard and Annie Labuschagne are in their second day and planning on 18 daysish in the saddle.Man thats tough
