Yes, appreciate that, but it is South Africa, and I also want to be prepared in case the bike's stolen, run over or any other emergency. If I get robbed in the middle of the Drakensburg, for example, I want to have some options. Also, I'm doing a 3-day stage mountin trail race out there (running), and can't rule out injury. Belt and braces, innit?
