Picture Taken from The Hotel Window-Dave Is Down There Somewhere! |
We rode a shorter stage today than yesterday but it was
much, much tougher. There was 300m more climbing but it was difficult technical
terrain. We pushed or carried our bikes over so many unrideable sections both up
and sometimes down that we lost count. I have never ridden such a demanding
course in my life.
We spent half an hour this morning, drying our shoes with
the hotel room hair dryer and the first river/forge came after about 2
miles-LOL. I think we went through 30 rivers today.
Still the skies were blue and we rode in shorts and short
sleeves. We got back after 7.16 which was 1 1/2 hours longer than yesterday. I
have so many aches I can hardly move. Tomorrow is supposedly even tougher but
the real tough days come on Wednesday and Thursday with over 3500m of climbing
on both days.
