Feeling refreshed after yesterday we made our way to the marker on the R390 to Steynsburg where we ended on Tuesday. A while into the session Pudy's luck turned sour as the R390 to Steynsburg became violently uphill and terribly rough. Puddy said that this has by far been the worst roads on the trip. Especially the 350m climb to the top on the Steynsburg Pass which had Puddy gaping for breath.
Every 10k's Puddy - as in the past, would take a break to drink some fluids only this time he was so wrecked that he could barely stand. However This was not going to conquer Puddy and sooner than later he jumped up and kept pushing to the top.
We skated 24km's in total for the day. This is pretty good considering we went up hill 90% of the time. Our new base camp is in Steynsburg even though we are yet to skate 25k's into town tomorrow. After this we head on down to Hoffmeyer about 65km's from Steynsburg.
Until tomorrow
