It was a tough ride for us as it took 9hr16min to complete the 80km.
It rained the day before which softened the track a bit but down in the gullies it was hot and very humid and with a few hills included we were at a very steady pace throughout.
Nelson was amazing showing toughness and persistence to finish with a 43 heart rate and a great book.
All in all it was a very scenic , well marked and testing ride. I intend to go back next year.
The organisers did a fantastic job with prizes for everyone who competed as well as the Winners, no one missed out.
Special thanks to Jo Arblaster from Animal Focus Photography for the many wonderful photo,s she takes throughout the year at most of the rides.
