Well it’s been a week since I got back from Swazi and I am still wishing I was back there!! Thank you both so much for putting on such a tremendous event.  The route was superb! I loved the variety Swaziland has to offer, there was never a dull moment! From rocky technical climbs,  to scary steep descents, to flowing sweeping forest tracks, to interesting river paths, to brutal climbs and even a scenic tar section over the dam wall, your race has it all. The  aspect of “navigating “ones way adds another dimension to the race which Phil and I loved (even though we got lost once or twice!) Also, particularly special to the event, is the wonderful friendly and relaxed vibe.  
Jane Seggie 2011

You put on an absolutely marvellous race this year, thank you, thank you, thank you. I think the event has really come of age and I'm very chuffed I've been able to watch it develop from year 1.  I also think the Swazi Frontier has developed a special reputation in the MTB community. Lots of nervousness and excitement about the event amongst the new entries suggests that the word is out about what to expect from Swaziland.

Thanks once again for a fantastic event. You guys really do have a great thing going with the Swazi Frontier - my benchmark for all other stage races.
Dane Walsh 2011

We just wanted to thank you guys and all the support crew for a fantastic event.  Loved it all – the scenery, the flowers on Day 1 in Malolotja, the gnarly tracks, the cattle tracks, the dust, the river crossings (many), the single tracks, the swoopy downhills, the single tracks, the friendly faces & cheers on the way and sooo much more.  We had a fantastic time and really enjoyed ourselves!  It’s hard to single out any one ‘best’ bit – too many good things to carry on naming them.  We’ll be back!
Cheryl Jenks and Jason Whyte 2011

Thanks again for a really great couple of days riding. The route gets better and better and so does the organisation, superb.  End of Day 3 was spectacular and I think a great way of finishing. See you next year.
Connor Dawson 2011

Once again you have outdone any other of the local races with "your" Swazi Frontier race! I just love the technical bits where you can challenge yourself and still enjoy a relaxed racing atmosphere. (I must be getting old).    My friends from the Netherlands also enjoyed it to the max.  Thanks a lot. It was the highlight (again) of my cycling year! 
Andre Brink 2011

All in all it was a very difficult race due to the course and the heat.  The first day was the one of the toughest day's I have ever experienced. I will forever remember "Too Brutal" as ...too brutal.  The race organisers, Brett and Lesley, were sublime and everything was well organised and planned and they thought of everything.  It was a very exciting experience to ride in Swaziland.  All the kids (and older people) supporting along the way was very special. we were impressed by the high quality of the organization.   Everything was well organized - really above European standard.
Wout Theuws 2011 (Netherlands)

This was my third successive Swazi Frontier and without a doubt the best. I had to jump through hoops to make it but it was so well worth it.   Thank you both once again for an astoundingly spectacular event. You have outdone yourselves again.
Dick Morkel 2011

You have successfully created an event that attracts suitable purist MTB enthusiasts with the right attitude of enjoying their riding but still with an obvious amount of competiveness.  The camaraderie and sportsmanship shown over the three days is testament to the endless hours of hard work you guys all put in to make this event happen – WELL DONE.  As always, the first 2 days are pretty demanding & fantastic, with the third day changes by including the awesome new river section a huge improvement.  Once again, awesome event, great organisation, good mix of participants & most importantly pretty damn fine Mountain Biking ..... & yes we’ll be back!
Craig Fussell and Greg Crookes 2011

Just a short note to advise you that participation in the Swazi Frontier event has converted me from a confirmed single-stage roadie to an aspiring multi-stage mountain biker!  Thanks for all the effort and love you put into the race… I loved so much of what the event was all about: the extreme and varied terrains we passed through, the remoteness of much of the route, the camaraderie at the camps and also on the ride itself, the social up-liftment effort, the faultless organisation, the briefing sessions with daily highlights & humour, etc, etc.   The only trouble is that I have been asking around to find a comparable race and there just does not seem to be one!  Hopefully I will be able to get back to join you and the crew next year…
Mark Humphrey 2011

Just a short note to thank you for another fantastic event.  Johan and myself loved every moment of the 3 days, the first day win being a big, but pleasant surprise.   The following day getting lost allowed us to have fun again and to ride as we pleased, not under pressure.  I hope your sponsors do well from their exposure and can highly recommend their involvement.  We will use their products and services wherever possible.
Paul Furbank 2011

A HUGE well done it was awesome you played out of your gumboots it just gets better and better.  Well done
Anton Wood 2011

Thanks a million for a stunning race it was VERY VERY HARD but yes we survived and enjoyed it a lot, and it is worth every pain, swearing and prayer (that was now praying for the finish line every day, the swearing was for not seeing the finish on top of every hill).
Carlien and Leon Engelbrecht 2011

Now that the dust has settled for the Swazi Frontier I just wanted to thank you both for organising a great event. Apart from the race we really enjoyed the friendly atmosphere in Swaziland and look forward to coming back again!
Justin Harris 2011

Just to say thank you very much for a great few days. Morne and I really enjoyed every minute of our adventure in Swaziland - REAL mountain biking, great accommodation, fantastic food and a very well organised and fun experience. Well done!  Was a bit freaked out by the whole navigation thing but we managed to get the hang of it by day 3!  Really hope to be back next year.  Thanks again, you guys, and good luck with your whole project.
Alewyn and Morne Vorster 2011

Huge well done again.  Really was superb to see the same faces and have the privilege to ride through all those awesome tracks.
Gus Pringle 2011

Thank-you for an amazing introduction to stage MTB riding, I thoroughly enjoyed the trip and will hopefully see you next year.
Ed Baldrey 2011

Thank you for a fantastic event.
Adele Drake 2011

We had good time out there on our bikes, meeting friendly people. I'm still tired but I can't wait for next year. You guys rock and full of surprises, I like that.
Thulani Gule 2011

Thanks for the Swazi Frontier and inviting us to ride. It was by far the best social stage race we have been on. Day one was very rough and definitely challenged the mind, let alone the body. Day 2 and day 3 however were probably the best day rides ever. They were tough but fun and rewarding.
Renzo Schincariol 2011

Thanks for the most brilliant race we've ever done!! It was such a great adventure for both of us. The route was amazing...I loved the technical bits!  We're definitely in for next year!!
Jacques and Janine Malherbe 2011 (The Madherbs)

Congratulations on another amazing Swazi Frontier. Unlike my riding abilities, your event just gets better and better. Can’t wait for next year.
Donald Barrow 2011

Thanks SO much again for everything, it was AWESOME!  I’m going to train hard and kick @ss next year!
Tim Van Coller 2011

Thank you for three fabulous days.    The whole thing was great ... in fact, it could have been longer!
Martin Wells 2011

Thanks again for a truly awesome event.  We all had such a great time.
Graham Rogoff 2011

It was awesome!
Karin Hendry 2011

Race was absolutely fantastic, have been singing your praises to all and sundry, tough as all hell but unbelievable riding. Will be up for another dose next year.
Jan Hnizdo 2011

Thanks for a great ride!
Gavin Robinson 2011

Thanks for a stunning event - we loved it!!! 
Rose & Gavin MacKintosh 2011

Thanks again for a wonderful race!
Brendon Wilson 2011

Thanks for yet another awesome event.  Swaziland is truly a remarkable place to ride.
Graham Beyers 2011

Thanks for a great ride!
Jon Alison 2011

Thanks again for a great extended weekend.  Now each day is perfect!
Mark Preen 2011

Thanks so much for such a fun event …. very important at our age!!
Phil Lambrecht 2011

Thanks for another good one. 
Gareth Ocshe 2011

Thank you for an unbelievable experience. What gripped me most was the sense of touring rather than racing (granted we were not high up in the pack) but nonetheless the pure joy of the abundant single-track, decision making and the serious demand of the route certainly tops anything I'd done before, and quite sure it will be hard to beat. So thanks again for all your effort, the perfect planning and logistics and generally for an unforgettable time. 
Johan Vorster 2011

Gruelling climbs, mesmerising single track & another world!  Thank you!
Rob Kamhoot 2011

2010
Thanks a million for another great ride
John Tittlestad 2010

After that show I have little doubt your mailbox will be jam packed full of these this morning but a huge well done and thank you from my side, I really had a blast.  Day 1 rates as my toughest day on a bike and day 2 as the best (and it was RAINING!)...I cannot think where to put day 3 but it was super sick too!   Would love to join you guys again next year so please pen me in for the full show or tell me when to raise my hand for an entry.
Gus Pringle 2010

Thank you for a wonderful organized event - even though we only saw half of it with the broken bike!  We will be back next year.
Hein Blignaut 2010

Thanks for such an awesome ride again, it was a privilege to be out there, thoroughly enjoyed it, scenery, route, catering and you guys were awesome, thanks.
Justin Jeffery 2010

As a “purist type” Mountain Biker I can only compliment the event that you guys have put together.  The ethos, the environment and the attitude of all participants is a true reflection on your love for mountain biking and Swaziland.  This event ranks as one of the top sporting highlights in my time.  The course is brutal, the participants are great fun and the overall camaraderie and organisation throughout the few days out there was nothing short of fantastic.  Yes people race, but the overall goal of maximum enjoyment of this event far outweighed the fun competitive wagers that developed along the way. 
Navigating through the Swazi countryside and mountains was not only an absolute ball, but also a privilege as we got to see the real Swaziland.  Getting lost was “fun” and just part of the deal…What you guys have created is unique (in my experience) and should be cherished. The biggest compliment I can give you both is on the mellow culture you have created.   Your race is already a legend within the mountain bike fraternity.  Once again, a tip top event with a tip top MTB culture!
Craig Fussell 2010

Thanks for an awesome event.
Andrew Broom 2010

Thanks to you both for a fantastic 3 days of riding, great organization and friendship.
David Rawlinson and Stuart Rawlinson 2010

Many thanks for another epic 3 day with fantastic routes, great organization and super people.  The weather made this year totally different so no one can ever say the same ride from year to year…Well done to you and the rest of the team.
Linda and Paul Loffler 2010

Thanks for a great race, and a fun holiday!  Every second marketing blurb talks about "the essence of mountain-biking".  Your event really is just that - proper mtb riding (lots and lots of that), small communal atmosphere & genuinely in the great outdoors.

We especially noticed the huge effort you went to and the high standard of the event - the tracks (yes, we mention them again & again), route guide, medical and other support, food, accommodation, everything.

Between us, we have done most of the big events in SA, and some overseas, and yours is definitely one of the best.
Glen Goddard and Paula Noah 2010

Thanks it was a great race tuff but great.
Guillaume Van Niekerk and Andrew Van Der Walt 2010

The race was great and both Adéle and myself enjoyed it very much.  The tracks were fantastic and the lunch at Orion Pigg's Peak hotel a once in a lifetime.  Great after party!
Marinus Bekker and Adele Drake 2010

We want to thank you for a great event. We really enjoyed every minute. This was a REAL mountain bike race testing all your skills and although we suffered sometimes it was worth every drop of sweat.   We enjoyed the intimate format and please keep it that way.   We don’t even have any suggestions for improvement.  Please keep up the good work and we can’t wait for next year!
Andre Brink and Isak Bothma 2010

Just want to thank you for an awesome time in Swaziland. Even though the mud got the better of me, I can honestly say that I enjoyed the time we spent there tremendously!  You have such a great event going….do not change a thing!!!   Maybe a little less rain would have been nice.  Gawie can’t stop telling everybody about the “best mtb routes” he has experienced!!
Gawie and Ansulaine Spies 2010

It was a great event… hopefully you will have Toga party pics on your website.
Paula Noah 2010

Thanks again for the great race and all the organization.
Gerhard Prinsloo 2010

Thanks for a fantastic race – again… it was an awesome route, good people and well organised.
Kim Roques 2010

Thanks for a fantastic event.   I had heard so many good things about it and yet they didn't even begin to capture how unique and special this event is.  I really had a great time, rain, mud, togas and all!
Dane Walsh 2010

Thanks for an awesome event.
Craig Edwards 2010

Thanks for a truly awesome race – next time I will take your advice on the hill training a bit more seriously!!
Nic Fee 2010

Thanks for another awesome adventure.
Brad van der Westhuizen 2010

I want to thank you guys for everything you have done for me and Fana. I'm
running short of words to thank you but, one thing for sure, you are the best
in my life. You came with light to my cycling dream and everything just
popped out and I could see my chances of being the best. Thanks once more.
Thulani Gule 2010

Thank you once again for great ride.  Graeme and I really enjoyed it, and it is definitely at the top of our list.   We weren't as fit as we were hoping to be, and therefore the days were long - but the thrilling downhills and the challenging up hills kept us going!  You and Brett do an amazing thing and we hope you carry on!
Janet and Graeme Malcolm 2010

Thanks to you guys, I’m certain that it was the most successful race to date and more especially due to the conditions which stressed the organisation to the limit. The route was awesome.
Anthony Geldard 2010

What I must say, without hesitation, is that of all the races I have done over the past 5 years throughout this country, the Swazi Frontier was undoubtedly the best. The route, although extreme for us Kimberlites, was beyond comparison, and awesome (not a word I use lightly) is about the only adjective that could describe it. You two cannot be complimented enough for what you do. Everything is so personal … and nothing is too much trouble.

That there are no big names present with no monetary prizes being on offer makes the race for us back-markers all that more special. The majority of the field is there because they want to ride on terrain that is for purists and not just the pros. The nightly prize giving, with all the fun (Spandex will be back) was most enjoyable and provided us with a great laugh and an opportunity to meet lots of different people. That, in itself, is worth being there.
Barry Katz 2010

I loved it and will be back next year. I promise myself to be lighter and braver.
Gareth Ochse 2010 

Had a ball!
Steve Midgely 2010

Thank you for once again organizing a wonderful event. I know it sounds clichéd but each year things get better and the organization goes up a level. I think that you and the sponsors have no peers in any other three day race in the country.
Mike and Tracy Ogg 2010

Congratulations on another brilliant event. It’s just so good, year after year.
Connor Dawson 2010

The Logico Swazi Frontier was once again the highlight of the year. You know a race is great when it rains for the 1st 2 days and it’s still awesome. If you get a chance to do the ride, jump at it.
Marc Wierdekehr 2010

Thanks for the wonderful event. Once again the highlight of my riding calendar.
Pete Joughin 2010

Thanks again for a wonderful experience!!
De Wet Goosen 2010

Just wanted to thank you guys and your team for hosting an awesome event.  At times we wondered what we were doing as we were a little bit unprepared!  By the end of the last day, the seed had been sown and we will be back for many years to come.
Ian Franken 2010

How can we thank you enough?   What a remarkable ride and such a one-of-a-kind intro to Swaziland.  Ian and I loved every minute of it…  We just wanted to thank you for all the hard work and sensational planning that goes into it. It's truly appreciated.  You really have started a wonderful thing and we feel so privileged to have been involved.
Ciara Louw and Ian Du Toit 2010

2009
The 2009 Swazi Frontier was again an awesome event. I have taken part in many stage races and your race is the best of them all.  All the way from the fierceness of the terrain to your unbelievable organisation … we were privileged to be part of this year’s Swazi Frontier.
Johann Wykerd 2009

Thanks for a great race! Rugged and untamed, was tough but worthwhile.
Jeremy Sanders 2009

Thank-you so much for such an amazing race!!  I can’t believe it took us 4 years to get to the Swazi Frontier but it was certainly worth it.  We came for great MTB’ing and we were not disappointed – it was unbelievable MTB’ing!....It was superb – we can’t complain about anything.  WELL DONE to you and your team, you have done you and your sponsors proud!
Nicky and Gerrard Booyens 2009

It’s hard to imagine that the ride could get better than last year’s but it was!
Bruce Taylor 2009

Thank you for an unbelievable weekend and very well done to you both (let the love flow).
David Kohler 2009

What an amazing event!!  We came back this year to tame those Swazi mountains and once again they shattered our feeble attempt. Once again the organization was top class, accommodation was brilliant and after party great fun. Cannot wait for next year.
Donald and Tanja Barrow 2009

Thanks once again for the best event of my mountain-biking calendar.
Mike Dalby 2009

The 3 day Logico Swazi Frontier is my favourite ride, you experience an awesome atmosphere coupled with the best riding possible, you either going up or down, there is no such thing as a flat stretch. The track is unique and unspoilt and challenges every rider – brilliant event and if you get the opportunity well worth doing.
Marc Wierdekehr 2009

Thanks for an awesome race. Best so far, worst for my under trained body.
Adam Wood 2009

A big thanks to you both for a really well-organised, super race.  Tough as ever!
Linda Loffler 2009

I am sitting behind my computer, at work trying to concentrate but my mind is giving me flashbacks of the last 4 days in Swaziland. Yes I have just returned from a race in the little Kingdom of Swaziland. My third visit and after each time I did not think it was possible for the race to improve. Last year I thought that day two had to rate as the best day of mountain biking racing in South Africa/Swaziland, this year day one, with the awesome free-riding single track, technical uphill sections, man-made single track and wild game everywhere.  I vote day one as the best day of racing one can experience on a MTB. Next year it will be day three! I need to go back to experience the comradeship, the pure mountain biking, the awesome accommodation and catch up with all the Swazi Frontier friends that I see once a year. Next time I will last out to the end of the party of all party's.  Well done Brett, Les and team!
Mark Preen 2009

An event which will go down as one of the highlights in my cycling life!  On day 1, I bonked badly…but I could still appreciate that it was probably the most rewarding day to get through it and still be standing (more or less…).   The views, tracks, catering, accommodation, organisation, with the added twist of navigation, all makes up a great package.
Karl Kielblock 2009

Thanks for a great ride - this is my favourite event, a great balance between technical/rideable and pushing the limits of 90% of the field, which is what this race does so well.  Day 1 is the best single day of mountain-biking I know.  Day 2 is close to perfection.  The newbies were blown away by finishing a stage race at a hotel with pool and awesome food. Day 3, well, I have no comment on the route as my knee was (and remains) stuffed.  I would like to keep doing this ride year after year, and think you guys are going a great job.
Gareth Osche 2009

Thanks for a great race.  It was spectacular.  The ride and overall experience certainly produced all the smiles, fun and enjoyment that you guys set out to achieve.  Well done.  The ride evolves and gets better and better as the days go on.
Anton Apps 2009

Thanks to you and your team for a wonderful race. The organisation, food, accommodation etc really worked well… I see you still don’t use the term “Hill” lightly. The payback for the single track, views and downhill came in huge chunks…it was a winner.
Jimmy Arthur 2009

Thank you for an awesome experience, it was challenging and great fun - true mountain biking!! Oliver Stratford 2009

Your race is so amazing.  It seems to take us away from our "real" lives and time-warps us into a place of the greatest riding, food and friendships.  I would like to thank you for another great time both Landy and I had.   Frikkie was all smiles and I think it has not left his face since.  On the one hand we want to tell everybody about The Swazi Frontier but on the other hand we want to keep it our special secret!
Alberto Puddu 2009

Thanks again for an amazing ride. The Swazi Frontier is my favourite event on the riding calendar, and this year it got even better. The TJOMALOTI descent from Malalotja Nature Reserve was pure joy. The new HEENAN’S STAIRCASE descent and BROWN CROCODILE are real highlights. Aside from the riding, what makes this ride really enjoyable is the friendly and relaxed atmosphere.
Pete Joughin 2009

Great race, good food, great crowd.  Very exciting and proper mountain biking.  Certainly was a challenge!
Glenn Williams 2009

One hell of a big thank you to you wonderful people for an amazing, out of this world race and 5 days in Swaziland.
Geoffrey Wade 2009

The race was fantastic and all logistics flawless.
Iulien Circo 2009

I had an awesome time.
Jason Mortimer 2009

Thank you for a fantastic race - it was really special.  One could really see all the effort that went into it. Very well done - thank you!!! -
Adrienne and Anton Moolman 2009

Thank you for a great race.  It was some of the best and most enjoyable riding I have done in my life. Millar Nienaber 2009

What an awesome experience, well-organised race, and surely the best 3 days I had in a long time! Stephan Du Plessis 2009

Once again, thanks for a great event! I will definitely be back - this is so different from any of the multi day events I have done.
Dick Morkel 2009

Thanks once again for a wonderful race.  I really think that you have perfected things on the logistics/ accommodation/ feeding front even with the increased number of entrants.
Mike Ogg 2009

Thank you for a great race! Tough but great!
Louise Sanders 2009

Just wanted to say that I thought the Logico race you put on was absolutely wonderful.  The friendliness and the vibe was perfect – the organisation impeccable and the track truly amazing.   Day one was my toughest day on a bike EVER and day three was my most enjoyable day on a bike EVER.  Thank you for all your effort and initiative in making this event possible.  Can’t wait to do it again.  Three cheers and well done.
Rob Dennison 2009

I have not done many MTB races but The LOGICO Swazi Frontier got me addicted.  I am so glad we made the effort to go to Swaziland and dive into the deep end – sometimes my head was under water but in the end it was the best MTB experience ever!!!
Anuslaine Spies 2009

2008

“Best Race in Africa!”: what can I say to express a ride that fulfils every need and makes you want to come back even knowing that you are going to go through hell on the Brutals? We have done 3 Epics, 3 Sani2C and 2 180 degrees in the Cedarberg and these do not come close to the accommodation and spirit of camaraderie we experienced. I do not know if I could sleep in a tent again after the “lekker” double bed I had at Piggs Peak. My only regret is that I was overweight and not fit enough but that being said it was great at the back and the friends I met was worth every terrible km.
Rob de Lange 2008

Thanks a million for an unforgettable event brilliantly organised.  I’ve been a SWAZI for 38 years and have never seen scenery like that! Well done, everything was awesome.
Stuart Hulley 2008

To you and your whole team, thanks for a really unforgettable four days in beautiful Swaziland. Don't know how you are going to improve on such a great event. Thanks for your endless enthusiasm and warm hospitality.
Kevin Spratley 2008

Thanks for a fantastic race. You guys and your whole team made it an experience I will never forget. It was the friendliest bunch of people I have ever met and everyone was always making sure that all us riders were happy with everything. I wish that I had been a bit fitter to get the most out of the course but besides that everything was perfect. It is also the greatest bunch of riders I have been lucky enough to ride with. I haven’t laughed that much before….One thing that showed things perfectly was when I told Brett that I had another problem for him and he said that it was not a problem but a challenge…The smiles never left your faces...That enthusiasm rubbed off on everyone including the riders…Thanks again for an unforgettable experience & hope to see you next year.
Mark Haarhoff 2008

Thank you so much for the last weekend’s race – I thoroughly enjoyed myself… the race was an epic adventure but I must say those hills were a bit tough..…everything was fantastic: from the spirit of the organisers to the accommodation; the food; the organisation and communication beforehand was excellent; the route and scenery spectacular especially Baboon’s Back, the river crossings and Mickey’s Madness; the amazing photography and pretty massage ladies!!!  Thanks once again and I hope to ride again next year!
Struan Campbell 2008

What an awesome few days of riding
Craig Wapnick 2008

This is a ride I'd like to do again and again. It's totally different to anything out there….it's small: 70 teams of 2 ..it's by invitation…you get to know the people you haven't already met, and the vibe is simply amazing…hard riding, loads of support from other riders along the way, and an after-party that was the best post-ride party ever.
Gareth Ochse 2008

I heard via Gareth Ochse that this ride is one of the VERY BEST MTB rides around (if not the best)! Chris Sochanski 2008

Thank you for a superbly organised race!  Most of all though, thank you for the adventure. Hopefully we proved that some of us Gautengers can bomb downhill like the best out there.
Brennan Menday 2008

I just wanted to say a big thank you for such a fantastic event...It has taken a bit of time to settle down and recover after such a spectacular week. What an amazing place you have found to host an event, and the manner in which you have structured the event truly is admirable. As I quickly learned, it isn't meant to be a streamlined impersonal 'super' event... it has a personal touch to it which makes it all the more memorable.
Mike Smith 2008

The ISUZU Swazi Frontier took quite a bit out of me – it’s by far the best stage ride/race one can do, from the atmosphere to the single track riding, one cannot ask for more.
Marc Wiederkehr 2008

Thanks a stack, you have a great event going and we will look forward to seeing its progress in the future and with a little luck we will make it back to the start line next year!
Paul Cordes 2008

Thanks Brett and Lesley for organising a superb ride.  It’s the hardest thing I have done and yet I so enjoyed it.  I came home..feeling like I had been away for ages.  The kids can't believe we won a prize for coming "last"…awesome mountain biking.
Tanja and Donald Barrow 2008

Thanks again for a superb event! There are now two set events on my calendar for sure – Swazi and Sani! The one thing that stood out head and shoulders, and that is a TALL order in itself, was the food. This became very evident on day 3 when I expected to completely run out of gas, and it turned out to be our best day!  Well done, and we’ll see you again next year!
Lodewyk de Beer 2008

That’s the closest I’ve come to mountain bike heaven!
Mike Richardson 2008

Just wanted to say thanks a million for your hard work.  I had a great time...I'm already fired up to do it again next year.  Tell Yolande I'm gunning for her! -
Jason Mortimer 2008

Thanks for a fantastically organized event and après cycle!! Charl and I enjoyed ourselves and can only compliment you on a job extremely well done. Look forward to it next year!! -
Chris Chance 2008

Brett and Lesley, I would like to congratulate both of you for an outstanding event.  This was an amazing experience for me seeing that this was only my 3rd MTB ride EVER!  The event was well planned and managed and as an event organiser myself I really must give you a 10 for your efforts and detail….I learned a hell of a lot and must admit that MTB riding is really not for sissies!!  You guys put a fantastic event together and we will support you in 2009.
Liefie Day 2008

Thanks again for great event.  Really enjoyed ourselves again!
Andrew Broom 2008

Thanks for a truly awesome event. Never before have I participated in an event where the whole field became such a closely knit family towards the end of day three. The going was tough, but we will surely return to share in the beauty and hardship that Swaziland has to offer.  Once again thanks and all of the best for the future regarding the race and great community work done by your team.
Malan Wykerd 2008

Thanks for an awesome adventure; I cannot stop raving about it.
Adam Wood 2008

Thanks guys for the great race. We really enjoyed it.
Craig Randall 2008

Many thanks to the 2 of you for a great 3 days.  Lovely track and good organisation.
Linda Loffler 2008

Brilliant…we’re already planning for next year.
Sean Williams and Bruce Jacobs 2008

I just want to thank you for a superb riding experience.  I was unsure what to expect in terms of riding and accommodation - both were excellent.  It was definitely well worth the trip from stellenbosch.  I think what makes the event is your relaxed but organised manner and the smallness of the event - it was really nice getting to chat to some fellow riders for a change.
Please keep it small! 
Janet Malcolm 2008

Thank you so much for a great time in Swaziland.  The ride was awesome, the accommodation tremendous and the company great fun.
Beth McLeod 2008

Thanks for an awesome and most memorable experience, look forward to next year.
Justin Jeffery 2008

Thanks for an awesome event. It was the highlight of my cycling career so far.

Thanks again for the wonderful event, one that I will always remember!  Special aspects to me were…the wonderful and varied scenery we cycled through…coming down the mountain on day one was positively scary when we suddenly nearly fell headlong down the huge dongas!  Racing through the forest on day two with branches flying past centimetres from one's head was like some of these computer games I see my son play, except it was for real!

Thanks for the great race again and again and again. Everything about the race is superb, the route, the accommodation and the people! Although it seems impossible, the race gets bigger, better and more enjoyable every time we do it.

Ditto!! Especially to the Nivea guys!  The Hoss pants are brilliant too!

Thank you for a well organised event and a wonderful experience......something that will stay with me for a long time. It was well worth the trip from Australia. Definitely considering to do the trip again for next year and this time will find some bigger hills in to train for the Brutals!!!!

“The ride was spectacular and primarily single-track….The climbs and the terrain were brutal to say the least!  We all returned with sore legs, lots of war stories and a strong sense of camaraderie.  A memorable event and a must-do for mtb die-hards”
