Coffee please!!

Probably a good thing the blue skies are in the distance and not over the Ramrock Road. With 3 big climbs it would be tough going in the heat. As it is the conditions are almost pleasant.

Ian and Wendy about to crest the summit of the Ramrock Road

How could you pass on riding such a road

Which part is the butter and which the egg?

Nathan tends to his bike roadside

While Matt tends to his sleep deprivation roadside

Roadside coffee!

Double shot espresso?

1 flat white, 1 macchaito  and an americano please Matt

Aliesha demonstrates advanced brevet technique, catch some sleep between mouthfuls

Gotta love that vista though

Touching 40 kph headwind, ouch!

Finish-line fever coming through in the txts today.
