3 days of quick updates

Limited internet so I will do a quick update then add pictures and such after\

Prologue-
Hot but short. Paced it really well. Roade thru lots of burned areas. Almost cancelled prologue due to fires. Still smoldering as we rode by. Looooooooooose decends played it safe. Very happy with results.

Day 1- tough day. 36 degrees (africa hot) shorts felt hot against skin. Agian rode within the limits and gained on groups thru out the day. Beautiful views at top of mountain overlooking Gordons Bay and the ocean. Long day and was way more defficult then any stage at previous Epics. People who have done all the Capes call it teh toughest day ever!! It was ll about hydration and nutrition. I felt strong and was able to help out on the road sections. Ate lots and in bed by 8:30.
Managed to arrange a 1 hour massage everyday...YAHOOOO


Day 2-
You may have noticed the drop in placing....Greg blow out a sidewall at km 37. Good patching and wrapping the tire to the wheel with electrical tape did the trick. However Greg had to ride cautiously for the rest of the race. He also kepp rolling his front tire off his wheel. He now owns 2 brand new tires. Good day when we hit the road. Grabbed some fun pace lines and got cooking. Neither of us felt bad as we had to keep stopping to fill the tires and do repairs. Looking forward to tomorrow. I am send all htis from the internet cafe in the racers village. Pretty sweet hey?

Looking forward to tomorrow.
Cheers,
Jeff
