led to a DNF for the day – we had accidently<br />
followed Fridays route again… Man.<br />
Despite this I was happy to have finished the<br />
day… but a DNF after all this…<br />
Luckily for us, Roof allowed us to continue<br />
on the last day – starting at the back of the<br />
pack. We had to play catchup. It was even<br />
wetter <strong>and</strong> more slippery than the first day,<br />
but – we did have a much better idea of<br />
what to expect <strong>and</strong> we started making up<br />
some good ground.<br />
It felt like a very long day we set out at 9h30<br />
<strong>and</strong> finished the 53 Kilometre loop in 3 odd<br />
hours, finishing 12th overall.<br />
What an experience! I can only sing this little<br />
bikes praises – it exceeded all expectations<br />
<strong>and</strong> ran like a clock throughout.<br />
I don’t think that this bike is designed for<br />
races like this – but it did it. Farm bike? For<br />
sure, Delivery machine – it should last almost<br />
forever…<br />
Our mob took it out for a quick flip through<br />
the muddy fields out on our side…<br />
The original model that we rode a few<br />
months ago was really impressive at the<br />
price point. It seems to tick all the boxes in<br />
terms of a rugged little bike made for Africa.<br />
