It dawned cool and with mist in the valleys but the sun burned everything off in short order. For those who did the inaugural Great Southern Brevet the Nevis was a cold and wet place but today is was warm and inviting (if you can forget the 2 x 700m + climbs).
Txts getting more animated. Reckon some are finally softening to the Great Southern Brevet ;-)

Hi Kevin ,Marcus and Peter eventually arrived in Alex at 1am after following some sadistic course designers devious routing. I am sure great views but at midnight with headlamps approaching the luminosity of a faraway star it provided extra challenge. Great day at the office. Premo vistas and weather but don't drink the water at gara ten!
