Ridecamp: [RC] done for the night!

What a day... rainy, sloppy, windy. Really really hard riding for the
horses - and most had prepared for hard surface and sand, not mud. Lots of
issues with shoes, pads. Good temperatures though - I don't think it went
above 70 for very long, if at all. Lots of wind - and when it rained, it
poured!! (even though the rain in spain falls mainly on the plain...)

Tired riders, some real disappointments too.

And lots of confusion - language barriers, plus the timers were 'emergency'
timers  ... lots of stories, quite a mess at times.

Anyway, I'm pooped.. and John hasn't slept in 20+ hours. Off to the hotel.
Tomorrow is the closing ceremony... a very happy 16 yr old boy.

Steph

(go to bed John!)
