Pre Race Nerves

Mlevi (Drunkard in Swahili, due to his poor drink habit of high octane substances!) the legendary Landy is packed and ready to hit the road again on another Epic adventure! 4 as excited participants are about to climb into bed after a crazy final days preparation! It has been over 6 months in the making, from when we initially found out that we were accepted as an official Cape Epic entrant! Hours in the saddle and many early morning rises later we are finally here! For Chris and Julia who are living in Northern Natal their precious day light hours have either been spent stretching those muscles out on the open road or working hard to be able to get out there as early as possible! I phoned Chris one evening at 8pm and found that he was already in bed! This is late for us he replied – we are usually in bed by 7:30pm! So yes Chris has been looking forward to this day for a while! Even if its just so that he gets to lie in and see the 8 m-net flick!

We are aiming to get going by 5:30 am tomorrow so catch you then, currently 11:11pm....
