Friday 30th- Riviersonderend

Today we would like to re-name "Riviersonderend" as "Heuwel-sonderend"! The day of a thousand hills! The youngest amongst us, in a moment of weakness, even mentioned that it could be merely a 2 hour drive back to Cape Town instead of a 2 day ride. We need to re-name Paul too- Paul "I got my legs back" Roux - very impressive performance! The thick mist presented some challenges although also a lovely cool day- perfect for cycling. The Team covered 117 hard earned km over this difficult and undulating section of the route. Thank you so much to Monica and Jinja at the Sleeping Beauty Guest Lodge who looked after us so well last night in Riversdale and sent us off with an amazing breakfast this morning. And thanks to Klara and Gehardt Sohlms for kindly accomodating us in their idyllic Restore Mountain Cottage near Riviersonderend. They have also generously extended their gift of hospitality in warmly welcoming us into their home where we are currently enjoying watching the Stormers perform! All in all a great day to remember. PS - Thanks to all of you who have posted comments on this blog- it is a great encouragement to us all!
