Day 3

Day three started with Sid delaying the start for 30 minutes. Because of his antics the previous night he only started to change his wheels when we were about to start, I can see a few penalty shots going his way tonight! After less than 1km from the start, Alan Westerman decided it was a good idea to get the first puncture of the day. After him a few others also had punctures, but other than that no major incidents, except for Kolbe falling over the finish line.

It was an overcast, windy and freezing day, with a few big climbs towards the end of the day’s ride coming into Estcourt. It was also the first day that everyone finished the day on their bikes and we had no-one coming home in the bus.

Below are some photos of the day’s riding:
