Day 2 was a mixed bag. Matt finished strongly, I broke a rear derraileur and single speeded for 15kms before I donated money to Mr Shimano for a new rear mech. Bleeksie wins the award for perseverance for running, pushing, walking 25kms after blowing apart the rear freehub. Once again some awesome single track and descents. At presentation time Bleeksie got his just reward and one a new pair of 29er forks for his new bike. Tomorrow 53kms.
