[Event] The Munga MTB 2017

[milky4130]

And MM isn't stopping for long periods of time..and even thought 2 hours is a long time..it can become very short when things go wrong.. he is taking no chases..this guy is something else...

Given the position DG & KB currently find themselves in & the fact that they both did the event before, I can't help but think, they both returned because they came to win it all. So they are by no means giving up yet.

I see Karina Britz is on the move again.

they are running out of racetrack.

 

MM has 150km to go.

and a lead of 50km.

 

They aren't going to overhaul him, he or his bike would need to break down

As soon as they turn up the Katbakkies / Skutterykloof, if they do take same, there's a elker sign welcoming peeps to the Boland

 

Or are they going towards Karoopoort?

 

don't think so...would need to be on a big road first

Just checked the map - not going over to Boplaas etc.

I see the Loxton population has doubled with all the Mungas there. Vetseun gooi-ing a party in Loxton!

The route goes over Bo-Swaarmoed Pass.

From km 574, MM opened a can of concrete.

With a 2.5 hour gap now and no misfortune, he could take the top step of the podium

 

KB and DG, go boys!

pragtag, klim en nogmaals klim!

such a difficult race to plan, never know if you can let a guy go thinking he may crack or chase and risk cracking yourself.

How to you even plan your effort over such a distance with variables like sleep and nutrition?

This is some crazy sh*t - have a mate doing it for the first time and he is currently lying in 19th place - going to have to give him some new found respek!

 

I did 2 laps of Suikerbossie prior to Sani and thought I was a legend!

Who is your mate?

Martin Bain Venn - riding for Pie in the Sky - charity to raise funds for kids at KES who do not have financial assistance to help them afford food lunches etc.

MM is on one moer of a climb! after all the time he has been gunning so hard this should be interesting.

Vettie looks like he is having a nap waiting for the cooler times to ride. Glad he is still in it doing his thing. Long way to ride it is.

Ambo 1 needs saving ... he is heading down the N1
