Nomez and Sarah in Omarama. Fueling up on pies then over the saddle. Happiness is my bike on a sunny day and a tail wind! 😊

At Bathans check in. Little Omarama Saddle was slow going but the tail wind heading down the valley was great!

Hi Dave, Lettuce here...you might have noticed my tracker is off course... I managed to catch a tummy bug and then had a minor off in Thompson's Gorge. So have decided the wise thing to do is pull the pin this year☹️ my wife's has picked me up and I'm back home now so all good no assistance required🤕😊 thanks for organising a great event!
