Day 2 - 82km
Mbotyi - Port St Johns
The morning ride was 21km of hell through a deep valley with big climbs and more river crossings culminating in a deep crossing where we had to man handle the bikes via a chain of people in the river carrying our kit over our heads. The team leader's GPS had us 4 hours riding, 3 hours stationary, yes it was tough!!The final 61km was a lot faster in the beautiful valleys with a few steep climbs and we popped out on the Wild Coast near Cremorne where we were greeted by the sight of Two whales breaching in the bay. fantastic!! (BTW Andrew says Happy Birthday LINDA!)
