Today was our first real riding day. An early 4:45am start with a quick flight leaving the bustle of Saigon and into the peaceful city of Da Lat.

Spent the morning cycling around 35-km's as we took on some challenging hills, but thanks to Rob's tough love training leading up to this trip I was well ahead of the pack.

We spent the afternoon browsing through the local markets, searching for a lolly shop for Rob and people watching again.

A mixed group amongst us, so tomorrow will be challenging for some; a 100-km ride with a 20-km climb.
