What a day! 3t was a very long dsy for team Google. The day started
very well both of us felt very strong and we were making strong
progress. unfortunately at 15km we had a major rear free hub failure.
I.e. no pedal power. So for the next 20km to the water point we had to
walk. Which was not the worst part as we had some HUGE mountains to
climb. There was no way up other that to pick up you bike and hike it
up the hill. nedless to say in 40degrees it was tough. We got to the
second water and managed to get a wheel from one of the team ABSA
rider who was on a drip and not able to continue. So we were able
through to the finish but had lost time with our breakdown. We got
into our new home in Greyton in 7:15 which was not bad, as at one
stage I did not think we would make cuttof. We live to tell another
day and it looks like a tough one will keep you posted.
