Two weeks ago I decided to ride in the Dirtopia Marathon. Against my better judgment I decide to do the 60km (two loops) and ultimately only completed one lap a puncture that I nursed for 12km to the finish of the first lap and my body saw to that. Tough as anything I have ever ridden – may not be much, but Dr Evil could not have done better. Every single bit of terroir made an appearance.
I ended up under a “First Ascent” sun shade with the Munniks – Peter, Oli and Simon and some of their friends. A nicer bunch of guys are hard to find. A good bit of cussing and moaning about Merant’s course and a few beers were enjoyed by us all.
My mate, David, finished the two laps much to my embarrassment, but that is his nature and good on him. Sorry about the flat Dave.
