ACTIONPHOTOZ

Some of the racer's might have noticed Kobus darting in and out of the course on Saturday. Unfortunately he battled to find us at first as there is barely enough signal for an SOS call in the northern part of the valley where we first started!

What a pity, as once we had met up(both driving in opposite directions!) he managed to get in some great shots in just a few hours. I'd love to know the story from the oakhill boys, you see they finished off the bike leg with a twist!

go have a look here for the race photos he picked for us.

YOUR RACE

Any anecdotes? well add them in here!

The final kloof!

Looks like it was a bit roffer than we thought, most teams in now.

The leaders

With stage 2 almost done and dusted,we have an exciting finale to the race coming up.team double espresso of jamie waters and sean hutchinson have been just ahead of rust proof(albert and alec rust). Having both collected all compulsory and bonus points, they are bizarrely now on identical race time.

Its a sprint drag to the finish at fairfield. Witzenberg pass should decide it, but it's early on in the day.

Otherwise ugene nel and mark loftus of team energy could pip them both if things get out of control.

Prizes and sponsors

Whilst not really a commercial event, we do have a few people to thank for making our prizegiving just that.
