| Bikes at Tarras, now where are all the riders? |
 |
| Rosie and Craig, would you like fries with your salt! |
 |
| Grandview Ridge early on, hence they are still smiling |
 |
| From Scott Dunavan, he managed to find some shade on Grandview from the blistering sun |
 |
| From Scott again, looks like plenty of traffic in the foreground on the climb up Grandview |

| Grandview and a very late afternoon tea |
 |
| The final push, literally and figuratively |
Txt Check-ins beginning to get a little animated. One might think Grandview Ridge was hard ;-)

Hoog Gareth and self at wanaka after mega short cut. Riding bikes is fun but pushing them is s.....! Took the best way to lessen the pain and make ride enjoyable and not be out there in the dark.

Cromwell. Hedley. Nothing is open!
Several riders made it to Cromwell today (or more correctly late tonight!). For the mere mortals the Pisa Range remains in their way to Cromwell.
