Ozzy Man's Destination F'd was the inspiration, but I tried to find something that was family friendly. The 2022 TransBaviaans was a one way ticket to Destination F'd!

Thanks for the race report Dane, as always very entertaining. I couldn’t be bothered to write a race report this time so I just posted a whole bunch of videos from the Instagram feed & event photos. I’m sure the viewers got the gist of it. P.S. I didn’t see your ATP race report. Velouria 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcg Posted August 20, 2022 Share Well, didn't make it to the finish for a look today. Was too busy surfing in firing 8ft Supertubes! And now trying to thaw and recover for tomorrow. Going from the experienced weather in the water, it seems the Repeat was exactly that: a repeat of last week. We had rain squalls move over in regular intervals all day, honking W winds and cool temps. Feel sorry for the riders and hope everybody stayed safe and as comfortable as possible to the finish.

RobertWhitehead Posted August 20, 2022 Share My write up: I started got to the main road heading into the kloof and pulled the plug . There's no way I would have finished if I listen to my partners and the amount of mud they encountered over the last 30km. It's these races that keep the LBS in business 😜 DieselnDust, ChrisF, Mongoose! and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says they had to stop a couple of times to dig the mud out to get the wheels to turn again. Couple of sections they had to carry the bikes. She says the recent Round the Pot was a breeze by comparison... DieselnDust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
