Day 7: Tire Poppin' Fun!

It was all blood, sweat, and tears (minus the blood and tears) today as we hunkered down and did what we came here to do: cycle! It was up at 6am, eating by 7am, and on the bikes by 8am today as we ere seventeen people on a mission: complete the cycle BEFORE it gets dehabilitatingly hot.


While we weren't entirely successful, we certainly powered through the majority of the day before the sun sept through and reached melting levels. Have I mentioned that it is unseasonably hot here at the minute?

There's actually not a whole lot to report here. We did 55km in under three hours, we had three flat tires, said farewell to Anj who heads back to Austalia for a wedding, we sat in hammocks when we finished, and we ate an incredible amount of lucky cow cheese. By my count, Claire and Laura were leading at six triangles each today. That's almost an entire wheel and its only 3pm!

Now it's such much needed R&R before dinner, bed, and one final day on the bikes. Is it really coming to an end?!?!

GO TEAM!
