To Ant Greenway.  Makorokoto for an excellent Blue Cross.  I so wish I could have done it with you.  I miss you. You deserve a Yellow jersey and shouldn’t have to pay R12000 for a Red one!  But thanks anyway BB!

To Wens Greenway.  Thank you for the detailed account of the race and remarkable poem which is too good not to share……

A sugar cane fire burns 

against the starred

black sky.

Dark-brown.

The earth on the mountain

stands strong for you.

Sky-blue-sky

smiles its way to you.

leaping and dancing,

A mountain stream

laughs its way to you.

Quiet and serene,

A sweep of golden grass

distills the sun for you.

Breathe it in,

Breathe it out.

Your wings will grow again,

And we will bring you here.
