The BOla BOla Race Report - Panada & Goatie Edition

It's BOla BOla time!!! After Panada was busted doping at the Berge en Dale, he was sentenced to an exile [Ed. note: (snickers) Yes, UCI, this is how B.O. does it!!!] to learn how to dope properly and it has been a long, dark, lonely exile. The Panada never went back to Krugies and filmed an advertisement for Mattress King a la some famous steak eater, the Panada simply served his ban and now are back and ready to ride again! The teamies decided to celebrate his return at the BOla BOla. Some knows this race for it's less known name the Sondela Bela Bela Challenge, but E's, O's, they all vowels. No matter, TIME to gather the teamies. Crap: (stop bothering me) I only do big races... Donkey: (I got a race to do) I am off to Sani2C... Katy: (I got a real race to do) I am off to Sani2C... BObbie: (I don't do cold or dark) I am hungry... Lani: (obviously) Well, someBOdy has to feed the BObbie. Lolly: (er...) LOOK, I am er... well, I am busy... Stache: (

Sani is coming Part 2 - The Honda Mountain Trophy (The Donkey Edition)

Image
Back from Cape Town with no casualties this time on the flight. The Honda Mountain Trophy was the last chance to prove your readiness. With only 2 weeks to go… this 75km on Saturday followed by another 45km on the Sunday on the out skirts of the cradle near Hekpoort was to be the last big effort. It all started with a 04h00 wakeup call to get to registration. Spiderman (some will remember him from Berge & Dale) was collected on the way.
