From Alex, the race Director:
A couple of firsts this year:

1) First year we almost cancelled. Never again!!
2) First year we sleep in another bivouac every evening.
3) First year we cross the border into another African country, even if its just for fuel! Next year! Watch this space closely!!
4) And the first year we will have 4 trophy's! 1st to 3rd is self explanatory, but the smallest and strongest of the three, is the 'Amadoda Yamadoda' prize. In Xhosa the meaning is 'Man Amongst Men'. The winner of this prize will be decided through a vote by the marshals and media team. This man displayed courage and endurance above and beyond human capacity.

To be considered for any of the above you will have to had completed all three stages without exceeding any stage cut-off time or be disqualified from a stage.

Epic!

So who are going to get these trophies???

Every one of the organisers and entrants, best of luck and I hope this bring immense enjoyment.

These trunks seem to get pretty small!

I've had a really bad flu and really busy work wise so not much was done. Then last minute dot com and it's Oil leaks, wheel bearings were shot, electrics, fried HID's, filter issues, importing stuff, get roadbook fixed, full service all in the last 2 days.

Make it puke visible is my theory...

Apart from one or two things, I'm packed and ready.
