Hi Everyone!
As I've mentioned in my description of the freedom challenge, one of the biggest issues, especially for first time riders (rookies) like myself, is navigating the route correctly and dealing with many unforeseen 'surprise' obstacles along the way. Well tonight we received an email from race office regarding numerous issues in our preparation for the event. Just had to share one of the sections that was included in the mail...might just give you a small insight into what we may have to deal with on route. Have a read:
"13. Access
There are a few places on the route where access remains an issue. We remain satisfied that these are public routes and there is no legal basis for preventing riders utilising these routes. But just so that you are aware of the locations they are:
i. After van de Venterskraal over Koedoeskop (you might need to contend with an electric fence – but the guy living at the main gate has the key);
ii. Out of Gamkaskloof via the Ladder (you might need to climb over a new game gate);
iii. After Rouxpos through the northern section of Anysberg (you might need to content with a disgruntled Mr Meiring who is trying to get the road deproclaimed);
iv. Coeniesrivier on the way to Kasra (you may need to contend with getting lost if its dark)."
Apologies for the long post but just had to share this...
So far training going great, body just a tad drained after extended high intensities. So just taking some time out to prevent over extending. Thanks again to all supporters, funds are mounting slowly but surely.
Let's do it for our rhinos people.
Cheers
Charles
