After the drenching last night the decision was made to set off at midday to enable everyone and everything to dry off. So today start was a civilised 11:30 am.
80 kms of unbelievable corrugations, rain but (thankfully) a tail wind. Rain has now set in but should clear soon.
The last leg of the day’s ride was a 14km leg to Lake Caroline making it about 82km for the day.
Never seen this much mud in the lake before. Really wet.
Lovely day for it. Cyclists head off. We wait 3 hours or so then we follow.
Mornings are getting progressively colder but starts are still 7:30 am
Another very chilly morning again. A long day yesterday (90kms) and and equally long day today. Road is very flat and smooth with little or no dune crossings so speed is high.
