A journal of my Freedom Challenge mountain bike adventures, 2007, 2009(tandem)2011, 2012(solo) and 2014. Race to Rhodes and the 2300km Race Across South Africa. The race starts in Pietermaritzburg and ends in Wellington close to Cape Town, with a 26 day cut-off. The Ride to Rhodes(2008-unblogged and 2010) is a shortened version that starts in Pietermaritzburg and ends 6 days later in Rhodes.

It is getting cold!
Winter has finally arrived on the highveld.This morning it was freezing cold. For the first time this year I had to wear my beanie! I suspect that on the trail I will have to add 1 or 2 more cold weather items - like gloves and a buff.
they told me I was loopy with the 'dancing crane - flying dragon' bit on that rock but this certainly takes the biscuit - What's the stuff called that your'e on and are you up for a dare on the FC ?
Did'nt you forget somebody?or is Forrest openning the gate OR on the game fence waiting for you to arrive,or cutting trail ahead???Ha Ha... Anyway,no matter...all the best to you two and can't wait to hear all about your adventure on your return.
Fat boy, this is obviously your way of dealing with the cold
ReplyDeleteWhat I meant to say was....that you have another unfair advantage. Your pack will be so light now without needing warm clothes.
