If you are still wondering - DO IT! ENTER!
Guys, I've just come back from a weekend in riding heaven!
We stayed at Rooiputs (Race HQ) and I helped Offroad and Buff map and check out the tracks. I spent my time following them in a Hilux bakkie (The Lexus) with the fuel, while they were out on quad and bike.enjoying the most varied, glorious riding conditions imaginable.
Get your hot little entries in now. The farmers have opened many, many areas where ordinary folk never get a chance to ride. Step away from your keyboards and do something quite extraordinary.
Thanks for the pics, Buff.
Seriously, guys, there is nothing in this rally that is not entirely rideable by a halfway competent rider. Who cares where you come in the order? Just taking part is first prize!
Our children and grandchildren will hear of our exploits with rapt awe, even if they can't ride one. 
Last year I was privileged to do some of the route checks for a day or two. I am a very average rider, but managed to ride most of the route (with a spill here and there and some serious sphincter moments!) by riding within my ability (i.e. slowly) and showing a bit of vasbyt. It was tough but AWESOME! Best riding of my life. It is totally do-able on a 450 (which is what I rode). As soon as I have a bike again, I'll enter at the drop of a hat.
Did I mention AWESOME! The amount of effort and passion that is going into this event is off the charts. You will get 10 times more out of it than you'll put into it (including entry fees) because of the immense efforts by Offroad2, his wife and other volunteers and friends.
