It was very very very... did I say very??? cool. My favourite part was proving that a hardtail IS quicker that a duely down quick, sometimes rocky, single track. My least favourite part was being squeezed off my line by that duely as I passed it and ending up in no-man's veld!!!

Thank you Adri for doing all the organising and to all the team mates and supporters for making it such a special event.
