Anyone joining Latrinus at freedom challenge?

[Groot Lem]

I've done an Epic with Latrinus where he bought a mtb a week before the race, not had one for years. Did Epic with a weeks training, finished.

Now he's taking it a bit far. He's starting the freedom challenge next week. About 25 days of mtb through snow and sh*t. Pietermaritzburg to Paarl offroad. He trained once a week, is about 15k's overweight, cant read a map, wont be prepared with all the "stuff". Hope he takes a bottle.

wat van die extreme driekamp ding? Hardloop die comrades, dan die freedom challenge en dan moet jy betyds wees vir die bergrivier marathon.

You gonna have to get pass me first - I'm the current defending champion of Stage 6 (i.e. the Wednesday night after the last stage) - Anybody who rode SASSU 2006 will confirm that  Ha ha

hopefully we will be having an official after party

 

this is giving me some ideas for stage 6

[grosjoster]

hahaha!! What about stage 6 (in tollies), stage 7(terrace) and then stage 8 which is 04:00 after we had a bp pie........a crit through the mcdonalds drive thru.

I recon Latrinus will be distracted by the fine mountain cabbage being cultivated on those remote slopes... he'll be following smoke signals, not gps waypoints... don't expect him back before year end

That Freedom Challenge is a REAL MTB challenge! Good luck Carinus! I see Fiona Coward (organiser of Sabie Experience and Panorama Tour) is also doing it. And my buddy from way back when, Tim James. May you all have a safe, memorable ride!

 

Glad to see Toyota are involved. It's the perfect platform for an off-road motorcar brand.

Sean, Fiona is just doing the Ride to Rhodes as opposed to the full Freedom Challenge.
