Bull of Africa
Just Getting There
Lisa de Speville / 08.06.2005


It has been an interesting week and our experiences are certainly no different to any other event. A thoughtful theme is developing…
Yesterday (Thursday) morning we received confirmation that Raid the North/Helly Hansen (Canada), Supplierpipeline (Canada), Holofibre (Canada), HardTale (Australia), Martin & Scheepers (South Africa) and Subaru (South Africa) were no longer coming to race.
Contributing factors include: organisational difficulties, team mates with family and/or work commitments, injured team members and financial constraints.
Behind the scenes too team-mates and team names have been changing with great frequency.
Highlights include:
- Team Nokia’s Petri Forsman makes up the 4th in Cross Sportswear (Sweden)
- Team Montrail’s John Jacoby replaces Mark Collins from Team Mazda Salomon (South Africa). Michelle Lombardi takes over the role of team captain
