What a great ride today from Agulhas to Hermanus, Shona and our friends Kelly and Curtis were at the Engen Service Station in Hermanus to meet us. It was so great to see my darling wife again after 2 weeks and what a pleasure to have a ride on fantastic roads with no wind and glorious cool weather. Everyone's spirits are high although there is the little matter of a 60km ride to Somerset West tomorrow and the great finish in Cape Town. I still do not comprehend that it will all be over tomorrow and that I have basically ridden across South Africa in the last 2 weeks. The memory is already filtering out the bad bits and leaving the uplifting and fun times for me to remember. The back slapping and well domes have already started and we drank a little bit more than has usually been the case tonight. We were invited to a glorious vineyard outside Hermanus for dinner tonight and we witnessed the most magnificent sunset over Walker Bay in Hermanus.
That's all for tonight as it is a little late but I will provide a final posting of all the going on's after the finish. Then it is the Argus race, I'm really looking forward to that.
