Another Big Day Tomorrow

The riders have had a rest day today in Bahar Dar and Paul has enjoyed visiting the local monasteries via a boat trip on the lake. But the next few days are billed as some of the most difficult of the tour mainly because of the amount of climbing involved! Paul wrote me an email a few minutes ago saying that tomorrow is another Mando Day (all the racers must include this days time in their overall result) of 162km with a 40km climb. That will be followed by 4 more days of intense climbing and racing before their next Rest Day in Addis Ababa next Tuesday.
