Riders had to contend with the the challenge of the rocky, isolated mountain routes and radically changing weather conditions that included blisteringly hot sunshine one day, and unseasonably heavy snowfall the next.
Jarvis, who started the third day about 10 minutes off of Young, had hoped that the terrain would be more technical, but trails speeds were high, which favored Young and Teasedale. While Jarvis finished third, he still had a reason to smile as the Roof of Africa marked the final stop of the Red Bull Hard Enduro Series in which Jarvis handily claimed amother title.
Things were pretty fast throughout day two, and similar again on the third and last day. Sandra Gomez also entered the record books by bringing her Husqvarna home in 30th place to become the highest ever female finisher in the history of the race. Overall 1. Wade Young Sherco 2.

Temperatures fell to below freezing, which made conditions that little bit harder for the field of over riders. On Friday, day one of the main event, Gomez started off well pushing hard and making up time on the leaders. After five long hours of riding, Gomez placed sixth with one more day to go. With the final two hours of the day proving to be the toughest, Alfredo again had trouble with his wrist — the rougher terrain now making it hard for him to hold on to the bike.
At the end of the event, Gomez gallantly held on to an excellent fifth place overall. Although disappointed not to finish on the podium, he was still happy with the result. The Round the Houses Prologue was great, I really love the speed and was pleased to finish third. I had a good battle with Mario towards the end and managed to pass him near the finish to take fifth, so that was fun.
