Roll on rest day. True to Greyhound reputation we were sore thirsty and tired but after deciding to take a rest day we all partied till 3am until the bar closed. Some of us took rest day quite literally. Here is Great Dane and Leecat horizontal at 9h30.

We headed out on Sunday on what we didn't know was what turned out to be a 15 hour day. After taking some wrong turns and decisions we ended up ridding through the prince Albert pass at 8pm getting to Angie's G spot well after dark. These Greyhounds I ride with are hard core. Of the 9 riders that partook in this ride I never heard one complaint and everyone was bok for the next obstacle. I did not have time to take any photo's on this day other than these two looking back at Tankwa. Truly a beautiful ugly place. :biggrin:

Just one thing. Fuck Bermrooster can ride they joined us at Prince Alfred. On the flats leading to Sutherland I tried to catch him. Ha Ha . Every time I went over one rise he was going over the next. I later checked on my GPS that I had clocked 171km/h actual who knows what he was doing. :eek7:

Cut a very long story short, we eventually got to Angies after dark - always well worth views in the morning!
