They shortened today’s course by 10km and this was music to our ears – hallelujah, hallelujah, halllllle-lujah! We spent seven hours on the bike, not too bad considering yesterdays Epic 9 hour ride. We both felt good but rode conservatively – we still have 5 stages to go!

This place is dry, barren, hot, stony, dusty and hilly but incredibly beautiful at the same time. For all you mountain bikers, you just have to experience it! I’ll leave you with that..
