Argh I have the plague. Woke up today with head full of cold. I know - let's go ride for 120km! Arrgghhhh killl meeeee
Today's 125km stage was a straightforward 'out and back' route with 40km of climbing promising to turn into 40km of downhill on the way home. The timed section was the last 17km of the climb - mostly pretty flat but with a seriously steep last 6km. Anyway, I faded in and out of sickness and got through it without disgracing myself - but paid dearly afterwards for the effort.
I ended up skipping the last 25 kms roll across the hot valley floor because I was too unwell! Just got to get through the last stage to finish the event!
Here are some pretty pictures from stage 5.

| Not the ride home I'd planned, but really a good idea. |
