Comerades Marathon

Postby Sad-Ham » Thu Jun 14, 2007 3:27 pm

Are there any forum members intending to lay down their wings and take to the foot this weekend :?: :?: :?:

..........or better still is there anyone from the KZN region going to watch from the air?

Have been down the last 8 years now seconding my mate (he gets his green number this year) Each year there has been numerous trikes flying overhead route and on a few occasions a motorised para-glider following the route while I have been on the ground green with envy!!

I think it must be an amazing sight to see from the air, so here comes my question ..is anyone going to be doing any flying over the route this year :?: :?: if so , what are my chances of bumming a back seat :?:

Willing to pay for fuel , braai , beers , etc

cheers

Yip

Running my third one.
I enjoy watching any aviation overhead while I'm running. It takes my mind off the hard slog, but makes me wish I was in the air rather than on the ground.

Good luck to all runners.
I have done 2 runs. One up and one down. No need to do 10. I already know what the road looks like in both directions and besides, nowadays I can afford petrol :D
Airspeed, altitude, or brains....you always need at least two
