100 MILER MTB

If anyone thought of doing the 100 miler its too late.(you snooze you loose) The race started very relaxed with everyone chatting. After the first water point the roads opened up. For some fast flow riding to a breakfast stop where some coffee and muffins were devoured by all. Mountain goat heaven for a few km's and the open road again and on to water point 3 potatoes,bananas,oranges ect.
Flowing roads were the order of the day water point 4 had water shortage but overflowed with coke and the endurance kicked in from 80km working to keep your body going through the delicate stage to water point 5 at about 140 km. Turning home was just too sweet but a slight misjudgment and my tyre was cut with 6km to go. I fitted a tube and we were on our way going as fast as possible because I could hear my tyre loosing air. Coenie and I stopped 6 times to pump up my back weel and then got another tube from team mate Clifford and raced to the end.
Thanks to the team we over came all obstacles to have the best 9 hours of riding in years.
