[Sepia]

Yip, double hip replacement.  

Huge respect!!!!! Wow!!!!

My injury is a mere flesh wound. 

Unbelievable.  What a performance indeed.

Lets not forget Mad Max Menzies on his single speed still going and on 414km.

I see Marco Martins opted for suspension front and rear. Maybe comfort over weight saving is more important?

One wouldve thought for this distance & terrain that this decision is a no-brainer for some participants. Even on the marathon events I'll still choose a Dual Sus. Different case if you don't have the luxury of a dual suspension bike.

My choice would also be comfort, the hardtail okes must surely be sore. Well, I guess everyone is sore this long in the saddle.

Dual sus = more to go wrong. I think that's also a big factor.

My question is in all seriousness, and is more aimed at cycling in a whole...

 

What constitute a development rider? And when is such a rider not a development rider anymore? Can anyone be a development rider or is it reserved for a specific socio-demography?

 

Seeing that equality is such a sore-point in SA... Why not take away the development category?

On one of the videos, you can see the corrugated gravel. I cringed when I saw that...

Karina Britz now only at race village 2...still a long way to go with the next two riders about 17km in front...Mind games now for her...But from me still huge respect to her for doing 390km's so far.

For sure, but at 48 degrees with no wind, you start to pray for something to cool you off.
