The Marshalls

Balancing act - and he didn't need any help getting up there

Striking a pose

I've mentioned the support team and the first--aid people, but you need to meet the marshalls.

On the route they are consummate professionals focused on keeping the riders safe by managing traffic, and clearing a path for a smooth ride with minimal disruption to all road users.

During breaks, they are hilarious and are all out to convert everyone and anyone to become superbike owners.

Getting them to pose was easy. Check out the balancing act on the bike!

Cow Patties

From what I could see the riders made contact with cow patties on the morning of the 3rd day. The riders came very close to a herd of cows that were getting comfotable on the road around Air Jerneh. Thanks to one of the marshalls who took a stick to the beasties, the road was clear except for the droppings. Bet some of the riders had some splash on them. Ick...

Here's a pix of a steaming hot, all organic, cow patty minutes after it was forcibly ejected from the backend of a cow.

Talk about taking s**t for charity!
