And on the Seventh Day Team South Korea
The Ho Chi Minh trail Team South Africa won, Charl Moolman cheered, ‘Yah, we’re the slowest riders in the GS Trophy!’ then fixed a puzzled face. That set the tone for the week – the ‘Saffies’ were match-sharp and fully up for a laugh. Tents were pitched that night as every night, and the riders were already getting in the swing of setting and striking camp, organizing and washing kit – and bracing themselves for the cold water showers. There were gibbons, apes, gorillas – well, some things obviously big and hairy – howling it up large in the adjacent jungle that night, perhaps affronted by the growl of GSs, so you kept your tent zipped tight. Day Two A proper day’s riding with a great, almost speedy trail heading up into the hills with plenty of river crossings and the odd tricky part. The summit was at 1686m (5000ft), marked by a crashed ‘Huey’ military helicopter. The descent was nicely technical, the trail riven with deep washouts typically leaving just one line one-tyre-width wide. Tricky enough to take a few scalps slow enough to cause no injury. First test was a cool timed stage, all three competitors having to race their GSs down a long bank, along a riverbed and then up a zig-zag path. Everyone loves some fullthrottle madness. None more so than the South Africans. One well-drilled team. There was a road section that followed, pure mountain road heaven. It took two fallers, shredding two shirts – heck, even a saint would have succumbed to the temptation.
