65 kms uphill in the sunshine and 40 kms downhill into gale force southerlies with heavy rain and COLD!!!!! 8.5 hours riding with 660 other riders from St Arnaud to Hamner Springs 106 km in all. Arriving in Hamner with uncontrolled shivering, sore aching muscles and dripping like a drowned cat. Fantastic fun, great sense of achievement, short memory of pain and cold, great memory of fellow competitors well done Pete and Rob we will be back for the views in the sun 2010.
