Dusty Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Don't think Janine is racing. Enjoying the ride rather this year. Dont count out Janine - she's incredible if she's racing - hope Mark keeps up.
Prince Albert Cycles Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 These current riders all stop at Rhodes. RTR - Race to Rhodes RASA - Race Across South Africa - these bunches only start on the 17th, they follow the same route as RTR to Rhodes, but just keeping going down the rest of the trail after thatThanks . Used to rely on Johann for info and a drive out towards Groot Sleutelfontein where he liked to " welcome" participants . tubed 1
Percyzn Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Yoh, another super long day for the other half of batch 1.... not being familiar with the route, is it a tough day or did they just struggle?It is a reasonably difficult day, and for these guys on the back of a 15 hour day 1. Looks like they did not get lost, so just slow going for them. If you know the route well, it should be more like 7-9 hours easily, so an 18 hour day for them was tough going. Kudos for sticking it out and lets hope they go well today. Dusty, Dogs and TrailWarrior 3
Percyzn Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Mike Woolnough off this morning. It will be interesting to see if he can get under 48 hrs to Rhodes. The weather will have to play along. He's quicker at the moment than I have ever seen him.These are the times he will be targeting over the next +/- 44 hours. Into Allandale around 13h15 today, then cruising through Centocow mission by 16h30, a quick snack at Ntsikeni near to 21h30, shout hello to Sheila and Charles then off to Masakala for some breakfast, Malek at midday on Friday, some Vuvu chicken and maybe a zamalek before 9pm, and then Rhodes before 07h47 on Saturday to break the record? Sometime tonight, he will probably pass Batch1, John, Nico2 and Wade as they make their way to GE or maybe Masakala tonight? TrailWarrior 1

Lehana in the dark!!What is the weather like your way? TrailWarrior 1
Percyzn Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 yes, he has to tackle lehanas by night to have a shot at the sub48.Weather is okish, chilly and cloudy, dry now and wind is breezy, but not too bad. TrailWarrior and Dusty 2

At 11am today, it looks like Mike is playing cat and mouse with Axel and Daniel in the Umko vallley..... On day three since the official start of the batches, things are going to get exciting I think

Percyzn Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 Spot on Piston Percy !! Mike in at Centocow 16h30.....!! the next 12 hours will be interesting.., temp around zero, no rain and a light breeze - lovely riding conditions. Dusty 1
grc Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 And Mike is storming. I see the Greaves pair left with him from Ntsikeni - I wonder how long they will last. He is a scary animal on the charge.
grc Posted June 13, 2019 Posted June 13, 2019 And Axel is investigating yet uncharted portions of Ntsikeni. :-) I thought he would have seen the lights by now, but clearly not.

dave303e Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 That last few km into a cp when your mind is elsewhere thinking of a warm meal instead of a map... Percyzn 1
Sharkcatcher01 Posted June 14, 2019 Posted June 14, 2019 Did you guys see Mike is struggling with frozen cables and bottles, leaving him in granny and nothing to drink going into Ntsikeni. That is another level of cold! dave303e and TrailWarrior 2
