Would an ebike help in the Munga as there would be no way to charge the thing?

HOLY SMOKES !

 

the leaders have just past 500km in UNDER 24hrs!

 

EDIT:

 

this is going to come down to who can sleep the least.

 

I reckon Sutherland is the aim to nap for maybe 2 hrs.

 

Then it is balls to the wall. Sleep for 2 hrs in 50 .... thats next level stuff.

Looks like Vettie had a nap at the dam!! Great idea to get some rest into the tank, just in case you need to skip some sleep later. 330 odd km/hr in under 24 hrs, that is flipping great going !!

 

His avg is now at 15km/hr.

 

Common Vettie !! Hang tough.

Think that sleep came a bit sooner than what he planned. 

 

Lekker Vettie! See that he has gone up a couple of places as well

[Slowbee]

I hope he is taking some pics along the way. I wonder if he is planing on going down ou berg pass in the dark ?

I’m sure I could find a solar charger that will fit on a rucksack that would work.....

 

But ja, lets not go there ????

Looks like Dion and Marco are at a race village?

Not the most relaxing start to my Munga, fu...... South African Airways cancelled my 13:00 flight from JHB to Bloemfontein and replaced it with a flight three hours later, only to arrive in Bloemfontein without any of my luggage or my bike!!

 

Sorry but I have to bitch somewhere.

Some Hubbers still in the race together with Vetseun.

 

Go taito!

Go Eddie Stafford!

Go Vetseun!

1000 post rule applies?

Going to be interesting from now on especially the sleep tactics with the leaders only resting for a few minutes only.

[Tothehills]

Almost half way in under 24 hours Marco Martins at 517km in under 11 hours.

Hugh Bladen wood say " UNBELIEVABLE"

[Tothehills]

Correction, in under 24 hours
