Monday. October 11. Day 73






A slight rain and strong wind made the session somewhat difficult today. Puddy pulled in behind the van to catch the slip stream and tried to avoid the weather. The conditions were a bit rough on the Pud man, but he kept pushing hard and managed a total of 25km’s for the day.

Some surprises on the road kept him motivated. Gerhard, the mate we met while staying in PE drove past us again and stopped to say hi. A while later another old friend from CT stopped him in his tracks to say hi and give some encouragement.









When we finally made it to Mosselbay we ducked out of the rain into the local skate/surf shop. And to our surprise we found a stunning little wood indoor mini ramp providing us with some great fun and skating.

Friday. October 8. Day 70



Then team had the day off which all enjoyed thoroughly. Fist we all slept in, seeing sleep is somewhat off a luxury on the tour. After waking up we made our way to down to the dining hall at the hotel where they treated us to a lovely free of charge breakfast.

Puddy and Human challenged each other to a life size game of chess where neither of the actually won...

We took the van and headed through to George as a family member of Max living in the area organised us an interview with the local paper, The Herald.







Back at the beach, we took a stroll, and made a mission all along an abandoned rail way track. We passed through a tunnel that looked pretty sketchy at first, but passing through we stumbled upon a hippie commune tucked away from society.

The night we kicked back at the hotel, played some table tennis and knocked off early as we are hitting the road again in the morning.
