Gravel Burn Day 4: Active recovery at the back (60 km)
This was called an active recovery day: only 60 km and pretty flat.
I took the chance to ride with my lovely friend Juanita, who has been riding with adaptive rider Bryce, and it was the most perfect day I could have imagined.
My legs were tired, so the slower pace was welcome.
We were at the very back of the race all day, and the vibe was completely different from the competitive groups the day before. It was a really cool bunch of people who were stopping to take in the sights and enjoying every bit of it. There were rolling Karoo hills and a fourth day in a row of beautiful weather. The people at the food stops were very friendly, and I had a bunch of koeksisters at the water point. I also had a long chat with Bryce about the different types of adaptive bikes and learned a lot about adaptive riding. Getting back to camp earlier than usual meant some proper recovery time.
