Day 2: Heading to Hantam's Hotel


Booked into the Hantam Hotel this afternoon after 9:52 hours on the road, bliss! 

Today seemed easier compared to Monday however, the long distance and the strong winds of yesterday must have put some strain on the cyclists, putting additional strain on today's ride.  Nevertheless, brave and determined as we know them, they are going full speed ahead. 


The crew did an awesome job  again today, ensuring the cyclist have enough to eat & drink to keep them hydrated. Adoons & Turkie,  the drivers of  the two support vehicles, are also doing a excellent job protecting the group of cyclist.  It must be draining to keep that speed for so long.  Thank you for the very important part you play in the success of this tour.

I assume every cyclist, or sportsman for that matter, has his own special way to “warm up/down”. Who am I to judge...as long as that does not become this:
