Red Robin Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Prior to the start of this year's Munga, I had read all your comments about previously sitting and watching dots, I thought you were all a bit mad...Now I have found myself doing the exact same thing and totally get it.
Monark Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Giving new meaning to "ride like a girl"... This lady is a phenomenon
'Dale Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 What is Jeannie D's backgroundNever really heard of her until last year's performance Is she PRO?What's in her jungle oats? Who sponsors her?Any other famous bike riders in her gene pool? What an ultra-endurance athlete. Respect.
Captain Fastbastard Mayhem Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 What is Jeannie D's backgroundNever really heard of her until last year's performance Is she PRO?What's in her jungle oats? Who sponsors her?Any other famous bike riders in her gene pool? What an ultra-endurance athlete. Respect.The Dreyer family are just sports monsters. Martin Dreyer, multiple Dusi and adventure race champ, Jeannie is his wife AFAIK
Bat Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 Hats off to all the riders still racing. with the extreme heat and wind experienced this year and looking at the front runners how close they are to the front runner of last year, they are really moving. It is again going to be a nail bite finish this year as in last year. (Pity so many riders had to abandon already, but with the harsh conditions, they are all winners)
Stretch Posted December 2, 2016 Posted December 2, 2016 WP9....was where it all went pear shaped last year and JN took over the lead.....

JD has been riding professionally and competitively for the better part of ten years...maybe more. You must also remember that the dreyers had a baby recently (within the last 2 years i think) so they are both putting in incredible training mileage whilst caring for a toddler

This is Jeannies first Munga. She's got serious endurance pedigree though... and is our current vets Mtb marathon Champ. She won the FC with Martin on her 'honeymoon'Was Jeannie Bomford (sp) before she got married. Martin has definitely helped her excel in the long stuff... mentally they are both absolute beasts, and this friends is largely a mental game.
