More mud...less MTB'ers

Seems the rainy weather and muddy conditions are scaring away the crowds.

I few die-hards however braved the conditions. Raw thought he was doing Ok and led until the grazing fields of Nkhanini, but he was left looking like he was cruising for parking when Robert Bie decided to stretch his legs.

No casualities, no war-stories... we means that these riders are getting pretty good at negotiating thick mud.
