The Munga 2019

[Slowbee]

Thanks for the insights Eddy.

 

Makes for interesting reading.

 

Like you say, defending a name on "the list"

[Slowbee]

KB is under pressure here.

 

If he even takes a pee break he might loose the lead. And the way TR is riding KB might not get it back.

[EmptyB]

.....who's gonna be strongest on the looooong climbing

[JohanDiv]

I'm a bit disappointed that they can give live fb feeds about windpompe, but not for instance a live feed at the Tankwa padstal when the leaders come past! (Can't remember if the padstal has wifi or mobile network coverage there)

[JAVSA02]

Yes

 

That's him. He had a heart issue.

Thanks. I am aware of before. Hope not again and that he is ok. Some nice solid training rides the past few months.

[Escapee..]

Do we know of any Hubbers in the race?

 

How are they doing?

[taito]

It's funny how we all watch for the winners then we all look at the tail-end of the field and root for the strugglers to make it.Its nearly more edge of the seat stuff at the back.

[JohanDiv]

Madeleen and Karina is on the move again! Hope they catch the Cut-Off dot sooner rather than later!

[Prince Albert Cycles]

Is Michael McDermott lying 9th now, the same Michael McDermott who won all three the Harrismith Mountain races I ran (and the 3 before and the 10 afterwards)?

 

He was so skraal that gravity could not get hold of him.

That is him. He dominated that for many many years.

[JohanDiv]

We are one short of 50 scratched. That's almost a third of the field!

[Slowbee]

Decision time, they are at the padstal.

[JohanDiv]

Benky stopping at the padstal....now we wait

[JohanDiv]

And of course the GPS of Thinus has updated 16min ago just to build the suspense for us

[TrailWarrior]

I would believe that the battle has now begun between KB & TR!

Get the popcorn out!

 

Showdown is about to start officially me think!!

 

Kevin B has had a gutsy ride up to now! Legend!

  

[JohanDiv]

Dammit now I have meetings until 15:00! Someone please update me here who and when leaves the padstal, not sure if I'll be able to sneak a look at the map

[Prince Albert Cycles]

Do not forget to watch the ladies. Carien Visser and Aryna Edwards are friends and Munga newbies and 2 very tough ladies. Aryna over 60 and very very strong. I see they are moving up.
