One should by now presume that, by looking at the elevations for today, there was no way I was riding until around the 79km mark. Edna was in heated agreement!

A couple of the guys declined the morning climb and started around 20km and Eli took the opportunity to ride the E-Bike from around 38km after the vans caught up with Doug who was flagging from the E-Bike.

Edna and I had a great time in the lunch van, stopping occasionally up to the lunch spot at 58.2km. There was the possibility of roasted goat, if one was minded to walk over and catch one. Vilma thought she had bought some fish that turned out to be a lump of smoked Roe which was not to anyone's taste unfortunately..

We switched from the red van to the white van and were dropped around 79km where we had a nice day, with a few challenging climbs, lots of stops and a leisurely ride to the hotel. We had a few drops of rain but the pack behind us got caught in a huge hail storm which we completely missed!

Nice dinner at the hotel and an early night..

113.9km +2558m/-1813m - No way!
