Description
Having incurred the wrath of Shaka Zulu,
the Basotho people fled to the vastness of the Maluti Mountains,
where even Shaka's Impis failed in their attempted to follow them over the
plateau of over 3000 meters. Fast forward to 2009 where this region has become
legend as one of the toughest endurance races worldwide that covers 500
kilometers over the course of three days.
The world’s best heed the call each
November to make their name at The Roof of Africa extreme enduro race. For over
40 years, this race has been in existence and hundreds of riders arrive in
hopes of including this exclusive trophy to their cases.
This year, Chris Birch arrives coming off of a huge 2008 season. He will be
challenged by local favorites and Roof of Africa winners, Darryl Curtis and
Louwrence Mahoney.
If you are a fan of "extreme enduro" races, then this one is for your
collection!
