1700km unicycle trip to CT for a good cause

[JohnnyReggae]

 

I bought a few raffle tickets to support these guys and I've just found out that I won a weekend away in Langebaan.

Well done !!!

I wish I could be there when they arrive - I think it will be madness. Well done! If anyone goes post some pics. I'm sure he will collect many supporters for the last bit!

I would also love to be there. I've followed them online through the highs and lows of their journey. It hasn't been an easy one for them.

 

 

 

Well done !!!

 

Thanks, I didn't do anything to earn it though. I just supported a worthy cause.

Today is their final day.

Going to mission through to the Waterfront when they arrive. Couple of the guys I ride with will be riding the last couple km's with Geoff. I'd love to join them on the ride, but still nursing a knee injury.

[Dibles]

Awesome! Any chance of you taking a couple of pics?

Hope your knee heals soon.

Will try get a few pics and post here

Saw him resting outside Mossel Bay on 20 Feb and still wanted to chat to them when I came back from my ride, but by the time I got back, they were already on their way.

Then I drove past them the next day when I went  to CT and couldn't stop because of the traffic.

What a shame - would love to have met such an extraordinary person, as well as the support person.  This really takes a lot of guts and I applaud you.

Hope you arrived safely in good old CT today.

Went through to the waterfront to watch Geoff finish his epic journey. He looked quite tired but very relieved. I feel somewhat privileged to have met such an extraordinary person, who was very humble in his achievement. I did not manage to get any of my own photos as I somehow was given Howard's camera (his backup) and just started taking a bunch of photos. I will need to ask Howard if I can get a few to post here.

 

There were a few people that came through to meet him, and of course the usual tourist crowds at the waterfront. Geoff managed to create quite a buzz with a few people wanting to try his unicycle.

 

Well done to Geoff, and I take my hat off to him !!!

 

Chatted to his fiance for a bit, and they will be on their way back to Durban in the next couple of days taking a slow drive so that Geoff can relax and enjoy the scenery of his trip.

Thanks for the reportback, JohnnyReggae. So wish I was there!

 

 

 

I'm sure Howard will post a few of his pics on www.fredhatman.co.za once they've recovered. I'll post the link on here if I spot them.

 

 

 

Well done guys. An amazing achievement.
