They say that it ain't over 'till it's over, but if you ask me... it really is over. Today the riders disappear one by one, back to their repective homes, with months of stories and a feeling that can never be replicated again. Tonight, the crew heads out for our final hurrah, to celebrate everything we've done together, and the possibility that we might never see each other ever again.
The momentum and speed with which we've been moving for the past four months doesn't exactly feel like it has grinded to a hault just yet, however the looming feeling of reality awaits us just around the corner.
Our last few weeks didn't exactly leave us with a smooth downhill to Cape City, what with one of our overland trucks ending up on it's head, filled with the gear of half of our riders, bikes, tour gear, everything essential to daily life for 4 months. nbd. By some strike of incredible fortune, not a single staff or rider was hurt in this accident, however that's not to say that two riders didn't end up in medical care on our last day for completely separate and unrelated reasons...we've certainly lived this through to the limits.
We've inventoried all our equipment, cleaned out every nook and crany of our 4 month stock piles, packed gear to be sent off to other various corners of the world, put on a fantastic awards cerimony, a dinner, dancing and carrying on, and at last, we can say we've done it.
Tomorrow, the A-Team crew takes the 'big bosses' car out for a trip up the coast on the Garden route... and then... home... See you there!
