On the way to George...
Started this Thursday with a mellow downhill where Puddy reached an average speed of 45km/h. What a way to start the session.
As the old saying goes:“For every up there is a down.” In this case, after the down an up awaited. It’s inevitable. As Puddy reached the bottom off his starting downhill he faced a super uphill, demotivating him somewhat.
The scenery around this part of the country is fantastical. A thick morning mist enshrouding the valley had us feeling like characters from the Lord of the Rings movie.
We encountered some Metro cops again. Twice actually, luckily they were very cool and supportive in both instances.
The afternoon Puddy was treated for all his hard skating up until now. The Hydro Spa in Wilderness treated him to a much earned massage to soothe and repair his aching muscles.
Thanks to Anne’s Place in Plet who cared for our accommodation whilst we were there.
Stats for the day:
Top speed 54km/h
Average speed 21 19 km/h on road, down hills 39 km/h
Distance skated 26km
Tour distance 1459 km
Tomorrow the team enjoys another off day, time to get our wits together for the final couple of hundred kilometres that awaits us.
