DirtyDan Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 A few pics from Sani2c ,what an adventure . Was very skeptical as got a very late entry which fortuitously just fell into my lap. I had never ridden more than 80kms on my mnt bike before and never done back to back long distance so was worried about the 96km 2nd day. It was tough ,proper tough . But hell what a ride. As for the saying you get stronger as you go, it’s true ,weird but true. What an absolute blast & such a privilege & pleasure to able ride these trails with such stunning views. The weather played ball completely and it was hot but sooooo awesome . As for iconic on day 2 omf it’s insane , but would suffer it again & again just to ride the drop in the Umkomaas Valley, no words can describe it.Jealous! Pikey, BSG and DJR 3
Pikey Posted May 11, 2018 Posted May 11, 2018 (edited) Jealous!I’d apologize but was way to much fun. It was my 1st stage race and I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone to pop your stage racing cherry. What a world class event . You want for nothing and everything runs like clockwork. Truly an unforgettable experience. Edited May 11, 2018 by Pikey DJR and DirtyDan 2

Always nice when the weather is good and you're able to ride Into the valley instead of slide or experience a detour. Pikey 1

Pikey Posted May 13, 2018 Posted May 13, 2018 Awesome ride with my buddy,he gets so excited when he rides a tricky section . I’m sure he’s gonna be a good climber ✊️ He loves stopping & looking at the wildlife. He did an awesome 11.6km at thaba, a pretty tough ride for a 6yr old. DJR, GmtbR, Bateleur1 and 9 others 12
