Well, last night, Gerhard, the race organizer, during the end of the day gathering, was giving everyone a overview for Day 5 course. He kept saying how difficult it woul be, even suggesting that our team took a different route. Because the course today was so difficult, trucks were not allowed to follow anybody. The terrain is really difficult to navigate. Even 4WD would have difficulty to make the course. The officials use ATVs to move along the route. Of course, that did not go well with our “boys”! Carlos was like: “no, we came here to do the course, we’re gonna do the course as much as we can! When we think we can't do it we'll make the call.”. The officials tried to change our minds, but there was no way that Team Can Be Venture is going to take any shortcuts!
So off we went! To the course from hell, impossible to navigate etc… The 2 trucks were allowed to follow the bikers, at our own risk.
It was hard! The terrain was very rough, the inclines very steep! Andrew was amazing pushing Patrick and Carlos when they needed help to get "unstuck", mostly due the spinning in place because the ground was so dry and sandy.
But, we all know the end of the story!
We made through the course!
Everyone was truly amazed that not only they were able to make it, but the that the trucks made it through! Allen and Herman were really great! All our boys rock! I will never forget everyone's expressions and comments when they rolled onto the campsite! That alone was worht this trip.
