Makadas Overland Adventure

I'll have a full write up soon - in the meantime enjoy the photos. (Eighteen hours of riding gives me lots of stuff to sift through before I can write it all down)
Nervous anticipation

Trying to tie the map to my bike - after the start of the race

Team Altus Minnie - Julian, Altus, and me

The entire field squeezed together for this photo



The support crew playing a game of cricket


Checkpoint two - 60kms down - 240kms to go!


Some of the wildlife
The cricketers having fun while Megan fords a mighty stream

Going uphill - racing the sun


The long and windy road


Cricketers taking some time out of the game for supper
Lights on and ready for some night riding - 100kms to go



Some very tired cricketers
My favourite photo
Finished - 18h30!


The welcoming party - we had made it


The game continues - day two's play getting underway
