// STAGE FIVE //

// Lady Tarmac is still not amused about the treatment of the stages 1 to 4.... //

// So today it`s Mr. Stumpjumpers turn //

// weather is a funny mixture of sun, rain, wind and clouds...//

// planned 35km //

// did 35km //

// now 215km are done, Festive-500/2 seems to be realistic :) //

// supported by team-mate Ben today //

// Team-mate Theo seems to be in relaxing mode today  :) //

// Planned 55km //

// did 55km //

// Reminder to me: If its raining tomorrow, take the MTB! :) //
