I had spent the night in a hotel with fellow rider Louis Parker and although the comfort was welcome we paid for it in time. The sun was rising when we got to rolling but we knew the finish was in sight, a mere 160km and this time the terrain pointed down, even though there was still some considerable

The comfort of the tent meant I overslept again so the heat was on to get some big miles in. CP3 was in striking distance over two climbs so off I went. Today was one of the most enjoyable days rolling through palm treed oasis' and along burnt ochre valleys. The mountains, full of geological lines and

This part of the route started to take us into some remote parts over forgotten colonial pistes and down into wild windswept valleys. To start though the road out of CP2 led to a little used path through the surrounding mountains. It was at this point I really started to question if these 'roads' could

This day turned into what was to be my biggest day in the saddle as the push for CP2 became increasingly doable. I started out the day knowing the checkpoint was close but I fully expected to bivvy and hit it the day after. So far I was only managing 130-150km a day so aimed to push hard and try and

The warm bivvy spot was a welcome luxury but didn't help with a fast turnaround. I overslept and with the low mileage of the day before I was keen to pick up the pace and crack on. As many racers will attest to having a plan is one thing but the race will always have something else in store. The day
