CPAR to CPAR

Today was another great day on the road. We did 91km over the day and passed over the highest point of the tour; 3,100 m above sea level.  The day was relatively tame; however, the fatigue from yesterday made it feel like a struggle. The whole day being undulating with one climb of 800m over 8 km didn't offer my recovering knees any favours. 

The day was beautiful rolling hills plenty of little towns for Machiatos, coke and another awesome lunch with fresh mango's provided by Ronel and George.

It was Friday the 13^th though and unfortunately Lloyd bore the brunt of it, he broke the frame of his Alloy bike! Lloyd is still EFI and has done a great job of getting through all the challenges thrown at him.. Today he thought he had been beaten; however, a display of teamwork and camaraderie in the this group seems to have pulled him through. One of the riders who was not well lent him her bike and then a sectional rider who is leaving us in Addis is leaving his bike for Lloyd! So Lloyd has still got his EFI status.
Tomorrow is Addis, showers and breakfast at the Sheraton awaits! Yay!
