Perhaps a Little More Down Hill Than Up Hill - Sani2c - Day 3

We made it! Day 3 started as a wet day! It rained the in the evening and well into the morning. Getting ready was a bit of a mess, with mud, wet clothes and shoes. The start was over cast and misty and the course was muddy! Day 3 was all about getting to the sea, so we spent quite a lot of time going down hill, but as you know, there is always a uphill waiting for you. The route was 86 km, our time was over 5 hours, when we arrived at the Lagoon, they had build a long riding plant form over the water, very scary to ride over, as the bridge moves in the tide. We had a great finish on the Scottburgh beach. It started raining, we had to pickup all our kit in the rain, not so nice...

All in look, looking back, I can't believe that this one has been 'done and dusted'. On a personally note, I spent a lot of time enjoying Gods amazing creation! So beautiful! Also appreciating that He created to be able to do so many things, cycling one of them. Also how he created our bodies, every cell, every hair, and how every part functions with the other. We take Him for granted, and really need to live lives holy unto Him! On the route I would ask Him to protect me, not to fall. There where one or two moments where it was close, but he kept me for me falling.

As I think back over the last two years, I guess there was a stage when, I thought, 'this is it', that I would no be able to do things like this. I am amazed the The Lord has given me grace to carry on. To Him be the Glory!
