Good morning all....Yesterday was interesting with a GPS route challenge over very tricky roads one lady ended up in a dam but all ok...a rear wheel off and on test...A stamina test...Running with 2 tyres...Picking your bike 4 times then pushing it uphill for about 25 m...

A slow race over tricky route...Last test for the day  zig zag through marked course...All in all WC guys seemed to do well...At this stage I am not too sure how we featuring on the points table...Would estimate Freestate the WC...A turn up for the books it s very cold rainy misty morning....Going to be an interesting day....

At this early stage after day one seems Free State and WC the stronger contenders but difficult to gauge on points as the points scoring is confusing after day one all you see are 30 separate mixed up points in no order...After today it should become clearer...
