Mountain Bike race (Race the Rhino) 1:58:32 [5] 49.4 km (25.0 kph) +580m
shoes: GT Zaskar 29er 2013
Lekker race, funds in aid of anti-poaching efforts and rhino orphanage. Team Mutual Safes out in full force. Fast start, but managed to get into the lead group of 6. Stayed together until the first climb on Damsig loop where Tiaan attacked and spilt the group up. Me and another guy got spat out the back and couldn't hold on. 4 got away. Was then alone all the way to the finish. Some hectic wind where I had no-one to work with. Tried to push it all the way, but was quite difficult riding alone. Very happy with 5th place, and a sub-2 hour time. Tiaan won in 1:47. Route: railway, Damsig, pomphuis, vulture restaurant loop, Nguni, half of Greek church and river trails. Really fun day out with all the Mutual Safes crew.
