Stage 8 cancelled due to extreme conditions

Stage 8 of the Mongolia Bike Challenge was cancelled due to extreme weather. Below is an account from race leader Cory Wallace:

"Due to massively flooding rivers the 2012 Mongolia Bike Challenge was rerouted yesterday on a transfer none of us will forget. As a result stage 8 was exchanged for a 12hr transfer over a high mountain route the organizers had never been before. Our convoy of 13 Russian 'Westfalia-style' vans, five monster trucks and a tired Land Cruiser undertook an epic day of crossing high rivers and glorious mountain passes.
