Forest Camp

Today's section completed and race results up till yesterday are now updated on the TDA page. Paul is currently third in this section and fourth overall. Wow!!
The tour has travelled from a bush camp to a forest camp today (be interesting to hear what the differences are) and the riders tackle the legendary Blue Nile Gorge tomorrow.


This is the description of tomorrow's stage from the TDA website:
From a cycling standpoint, the highlight of this section will be the Blue Nile Gorge, a 1600-meter precipitous descent and ascent on a newly paved road that will test the mettle of cyclists of any caliber. Once you have conquered the Blue Nile Gorge, the beautiful terrain of the central Ethiopian plateau will whiz by as you spin towards the capital city of Addis Ababa. The descent from the eucalyptus forested hills that surround Addis into the downtown core is an experience you will not soon forget.
