The Original Great Southern Brevet

Monday 21 January 2019

Late night riding for some and early morning for others on Day 2

A very late night for some on the Great Southern Brevet as the rain broke and a fine high country evening unfolded. With a near full moon it was a perfect night ride for some. Including some late naps trackside

Matty on the push.

Early risers on Day 2 of the Great Southern Brevet, Rob and Richard prepare for the climb up to Little Omarama Saddle. Don't worry about it being chilly the climb will warm you up soon — with Richard Lindsay at Oteake Conservation Park.

Matty Graham on the push up to Little Omarama Saddle yesterday evening. Note the blue sky! The rain went as fast as it arrived and a stellar evening for a bike push. — with Matty Graham at Oteake Conservation Park.
