Did we mention the wind?

 Another gorgeous day on the GSB 2021, but.....

Yes, the wind is again a prominent feature.

A different take on the usual warnings. With the added encouragement how could you not oblige. And it was the last of 21 gates!


 Lenticulars 😱 A riders worse fears realised. These saucer shaped high clouds indicate high winds 


 Seems every time I catch up with Rob and co. they are eating breakfast, their second of the day usually. The Big Breakfast at the Tarras Cafe comes high recommended!


Marquita trying to explain why you would ride 1100kms over several mountain ranges without a support crew.


All smiles on the Hawea River trail, maybe it is the tailwind?




Deciding which cafe to eat at now. Tough decisions are part of the challenge of the GSB 😎 Jo, Rachel, Ian and Nina discuss Lake Hawea choices.


Tom and Susie restocked in Wanaka

Amigos is the local Mexican Cafe in Wanaka. Where else would you take a siesta, but on the front lawn. Brendan enjoying a break off the bike.
