The Original Great Southern Brevet

Tuesday 21 January 2014

GSB 2014 Day 3 Txts

A big day again in fine weather, no rest on the Great Southern Brevet.

Someone asked at the start in Tekapo if it was going to be harder or easier than last time, guess the Crown Range answered that one emphatically ;-)

Have arrived in Terras.  Nice night in St Bathans last night. Hosted by 3 fellow riders.  Really appreciate the bar ends from Carwyn. Omarama saddle and Thompsons gorge were challenging but must see places. Still keeping my stick on the ice.
