44th Roof of Africa Extreme Enduro
Next Friday is the start of the Roof of Africa Extreme Enduro and I am going to be there and can provide updates if anyone is interested.
I have seen some photos of the route and it is going to be TOUGH!! There will be a good compliment of top international extreme enduro specialists like Graham Jarvis, 3 time winner chris birch, letti, Hemingway brothers, Paul Bolton and a bunch of new zealanders (only one smart enough to be on a GG!) Will post some pics later

I am cheering for Chris Birch. In the videos I have seen, he seems like a really cool, down to earth guy. At Erzburg, he even got off his bike and helped his competition. Top notch guy in my book.
Post some pics Swazi if you can. |

Go KIWIS !!!
Iv had rider coaching with Chris and he really is a nice, down to earth guy. Mitchell Nield, the gasgas rider, had lessons from him, also a really friendly guy. |

I am rooting for chris as well (and poss pitting with him as well), but this year with jarvis is going to be his first real test. Last year he just stuck with jade for the first 2 days and the hit it for day 3 (even drowned his bike!)
Jarvis (and letti Bolton hemigways etc) will not let a mistake go unpunished, but he does have the advantage of knowing what to expect from the race and having lived in SA for the year he has made a few training trips to Lesotho

Hey Matt , I will see you there , sorry but I am supporting Letti - think he is gonna do it this year providing he does not get lost again.
Hope Toni Jardine does well aswell , hope she finishes - she should have been on a Gasgas200 |
