GaryvdM Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 I feel like a dick pointing this out, but oh well, **** it. Gerald Cele took a short cut by missing the offroad section before Loxton. It was probably a mistake, but he should go back and correct it.

I went through the replay of that spot earlier and saw he missed it. Surprisingly he was the only one - in previous years there were more guys who took the short cut, even ones which had been warned about it the year before
GaryvdM Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 So many riders missed the turn just after WP5. For some it was a detour of 40km. Riders who went a long way before they turned aground:Nicola WebbCecil MunchJan Viljoen Riders who corrected quickly:Rowan MckenzieHeinrich VisserDion Guy

Hopefully they don't make the same mistake.

It was probably a mistake, but he should go back and correct it. not a dick move at all.rules are rules, and they need to be absolute. by missing that he gains an obvious advantage, doesn't matter whether intentional or not.He should be DSQ I can't see where he is exactly in the development category, but there is R43k/R12k/R5k prize money so there's money on the line too.
The Munga Posted November 30, 2018 Author Posted November 30, 2018 Well Done RB. Respect. That was a serious effort. How long was he stationary for?he slept between two and three hours he reckons.
StevieL Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Just curious as to which is more difficult...The 94.7 cycle challenge or the Munga?Asking for a friend
Wayne pudding Mol Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Incredible. I rode 50km today at an average of 21.2 - same as Ramses - except he did 1000km prior to that and had 4 hours sleep in 50 hours - I had 9 last night alone in a comfy bed after a nice meal. That is a very humbling stat for me - the person who starts this race impresses me, those who finish I respect so much - I cannot grasp manner of the win If not for Carlogs amusing posts, I would not normally follow the Munga - now I can pretend I want to do it Plenty dots left to watch
The Munga Posted November 30, 2018 Author Posted November 30, 2018 Heinrich Visser about two hours from finishing.
dirtypot Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 If not for Carlogs amusing posts, I would not normally follow the Munga - now I can pretend I want to do it This is how it starts. Then you start thinking about it more - "How hard could it be?". The idea eats away until you start convincing yourself that it's a good idea, and before you know it you're on the start line in Bloem wondering about your poor life choices...
Rudi Pollard Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Is Kevin broken or is his tracker broken?

I NEED to do something like this.
GaryvdM Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Is Kevin broken or is his tracker broken? Only 20min between 4th, 5th, and 6th.

Slowbee Posted November 30, 2018 Posted November 30, 2018 Ok so the guys we know can finish are finishing. Now to focus on the real heros. The weekend warriors.
