Who is Thinus (for those of us that are uninformed)?

(Apart from being a tough nut that gargles with peanut butter)

 

Thinus is the guy that made the A batch roadies look bad on his mtb in the 947..And he refuses to shave his legs.

Quite a few riders still in Britstown, with the cut-off marker now having left there...

Dana Schutte is now the leading lady and she's currently in 11th position.

Dana Schutte is a 6foot 3inches dude and a monster on a bike, but when he gets back to Potch I'll tell him you think he rides like a girl!

Vettie, best you get your act together and smash this beast next year

[JohanDiv]

Benky now on a k@k little climb..still 3km to go to the top with 200m elevation gain. Then mainly downhill to Tankwa Padstal apart from one little bump. Thinus still at WP9. The gap now 20km between them.

Yip. Elaine is the leading lady (EB).

Nope, Anri parker is the leading lady on 642km...

She is from Windhoek.

[Sbloomer]

Damn.  My Brother-in-law has withdrawn just short of 500km...

 

Epic effort.  Such a pity.

[BuffsVintageBikes]

Damn, this is getting greasy. I just wish those FB updates gave us more info about the race itself. At the moment all I want to do is climb on my motorbike and ride out there and see for myself what the damage is.

I see my friend Nienie also has a red dot and she is definitely not a man!

Last year I followed the Munga on a different tracker that someone set up which you could set on satelite view. Where has that gone?

When was this doping ban? Pity, if he wins it will be mentioned and over shadow. But hey, if you want to dope, then you must live with the consequences that come with being bust.
