Jack Black was on RSG Binnekamer this morning and if you missed it, go find it.

Our Race Director sat down and talked about the Munga, the community, the roads and everything that makes this race what it is. The kind of conversation that reminds you exactly why you do this and makes you want to clip in immediately.

Go give it a listen. And if you are not entered yet, you will be by the time it is done.

It is with great sadness that we say farewell to Herman Maritz, from Deopharma. deopharma.deopharma
Deopharma - PTY LTD

Herman passed away following a motor vechile accident.

My heart is broken as Herman has been an 'Anchor' in his support to The Grit Le Dur in Namibia as well as the Munga.

Our online business Gravel and Tour sells Deopharma's Electroboost which has helped many a rider to prevent dehydration and finish strong. Probably the best Electrolyte available in Southern Africa!

I chatted frequently to Herman as he was such a "lekker mens"!

Herman ek gaan jou mis my tjom, veral ons lekker chats!

Vandag is net weereens 'n herinnering dat die lewe op aarde baie kort is!

Mag jy so 'n lekker tyd in die HEMEL hê Herman!

Rus sag my vriend, Herman Maritz! Die Munga gaan jou BAIE mis!!

The Squad Series brought teams to Alzu. The 100 Miler brings something different.

But here is the thing. Nothing is stopping you from rounding up your crew, making a weekend of it and racing Alzu together. Enter individually, ride side by side, suffer together and finish with a story nobody else has. The 100 Miler is a solo entry race. But the experience does not have to be. Grab your people. Get your entries in. Come have the best day out on the N4.
