We went passed a Wimpy at about 40km which would have been an awesome stop for us, but there was no Wimpy and just renovations so we pushed on. The weather was absolutely amazing today, no wind and 28deg, most of us a sun burnt and my pommie skin is pink and sore....that will teach me for not using enough sun cream.
Today was a long ride over flat and rolling hills with a few hills thrown in just for fun. One section was about 20km which seemed to go on for ever and ever, Steve said to us that we will stop at 70km for food - he lied the stop was at 89km.
The last 30 kms became difficult after the garlic pasta which brought with it some interesting smells from the bunches - we are all desperate for peanut butter so the team have sent Andy and Lizzie into the town to buy a few jars.....
Tomorrow we start to climb up a few climbs and drop into Ceres to finish off tomorrow.
We are in a town called Riebeck West, staying in a lovely hotel just below the mountain. The massages are over and sitting in the pub drinking a few cold ones and enjoying a few plates of slap chips.
Today's highlights had to be the view of the mountains which is not given justice in my photo's, what I can also add is how different people rode today to yesterday!
I just got told a story about Kobus.....we arrived at this great hotel in this tiny town, he walks in and tells the receptionist he ordered a seaview, the poor girl didnt know what to do.
