Australasian Safari 2011 – Race day 6 (Agnes)

Agnes:

Yesterday I was tired and cold so I didn’t write anything to update the blog. But nothing big happened where I was hanging. We got to Leonora around half past eleven and then we put up our tents and unloaded the truck.

Damien’s motor broke down so Magnus and Richie had to fix it while I got on tire and massage duty.

Annie’s hands were really sore and Damien’s neck was still stiff after his fall three days ago.

Richie and Magnus, happy they fixed Damien's motor

Today, since we will stay in Leonora for two nights, me, Megan, Tony, Eppis and Graham went out to see the riders in action. That was a cool and fun experience, except for the fly’s… I will NEVER complain about the swedish fly’s again, here you get them everywhere, in your mouth, eyes, ears, clothes… really everywhere. At least the swedish fly’s are well-behaved and respect you, sort of .

Garry had a bad fall of today, he broke his shoulder-blade and some ribs, so unfortunately he’s out of the competition now. Damien got a wooden stick in his leg, he was in pain but now after visiting the doctor he seems fine again and will still ride tomorrow in the final.

Tomorrow we’ll pack up all our stuff again and head for our final destination in the race, Kalgoorlie.
