<\/p>\nHy het die wedren, wat aangebied is deur die BikingMan Organisation, in 85 ure voltooi. Die afsnytyd was 120 ure.<\/p>\n
Dr. Du Plessis kan boeke vol skryf oor die land se mense, wat hulle gasvry ontvang het, maar ook duidelik vir hul medemens omgee.<\/p>\n
As hulle van moegheid langs die pad moes slaap, het hulle nie juis rus gekry nie, want almal het gestop en gevra of hulle hulp nodig het.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
By die meeste winkels waar hulle gou moes stop vir ete, was daar altyd \u2019n warmfles met gratis koffie en dadels beskikbaar. En natuurlik moes hulle by die McDonald’s op die pad stop vir \u2019n vinnige hamburger!<\/p>\n
Op \u2019n kritieke stadium van die wedren het hy en sy fietsrymaat, Alex Vigerouv (van Johannesburg) besef hulle het net te min water om by die eindpunt uit te kom. Sou hulle wegwyk van die oorspronklike roete, sou hulle \u2019n 12km draai moes ry en baie tyd mors.<\/p>\n

Presies op hierdie tydstip het \u2019n voertuig langs hulle gestop en alhoewel die taalkwessie ietwat van \u2019n struikelblok was, het die persone in die voertuig gou besef wat aangaan en sommer drie bottels water vir die fietsryers gegee.<\/p>\n
Hy sal nooit die besondere natuurskoon van di\u00e9 woestynw\u00eareld vergeet nie en het teruggekeer met \u2019n boek van herinneringe wat in sy gedagtes vasgeprent is.<\/p>\n
\u2022Dr. Du Plessis is lid van die Middelburg Fietsryklub.<\/p>\n
\u2022Sy inspirerende verhaal kan gesien word in die Vrydag uitgawe van die\u00a0Middelburg Observer<\/i>.<\/p>\n
