D4 Productions’ video of team Merrell Adventure Addicts at Expedition Africa is online for you to watch and enjoy. Expedition Africa took place in May 2011 and Merrell Adventure Addicts were the winners, only a few hours ahead of Team Cyanosis.
Once upon a time, a long, long time ago, a MATES man had the wonderfully crazy idea to start adventure racing. He found 3 other willing MATES and chose Expedition Africa – the longest, toughest one of the lot as their virgin trip. Yes, children, he was a little bit crazy… This is their story in their own words.
Teams Bikesnwines.com and JETT have made lovely videos of their race at Expedition Africa. You can view them here.
Team Dewpoint were super excited for Expedition Africa this year, Kelly and I were doing our second 500km expedition AR after completing Bull in 2008 and it would be the first 500km for Kev and Mark. Kelly (who is South African but plies her trade in Aus) flew out for the race and spent a couple of days with us in Joburg getting all her gear together.
Leaving Johannesburg late on Friday afternoon, we practiced sleep deprivation by driving through the night, arriving at Onrus caravan park around 11:00 on Saturday morning.
Uncharted’s Expedition Africa was a journey. The journey to halfway had us in a lot of pain and wondering how another 250km was possible. The journey home showed us what we were capable of, how much the team aspect counts, and how to hang in there.
