Congratulations Paul

Just had a message from Paul confirming he did indeed win yesterday's 207 km Mando Day, not only beating the rest of the field but also the weather - three storms that they had to ride through! As one rider said the distance and elements conspired to make it the toughest day on tour!! He wants us to know not to worry about him as he is taking it easy again today! Apparently he rode with Bastiaan after a leisurely breakfast to lunch in an internet cafe at 110 km - then did some shopping (needed batteries for the SPOT tracker - so should be working again for tomorrow) before riding the final 50 km to today's desert camp!! A great birthday present for me - thanks Paul xx
