Onto the gravel

 Daniel and Aliesha lead the group on Braemar Road and premium gravel for a welcome respite after the jarring of Lake Alexandrina

What's the quickest way to re-fuel after 4 hours riding? Al demolishes 2 litres of chocolate milk!

Sasha still smiling, doesn't she know there is a huge climb coming?

4 Square in Twizel on a busy Saturday


Alex topping out on Pyramid Saddle, is that all there is to the climb? Nope, that was 100 metres, Flanagan Pass is 700 metres climb 😅

The start of something good? The climb up Flanagan Pass begins.


 
Riders in the tussock. A long line stretches down Flanagan Pass as riders 'push' their way up? What happened to riding? 30% gradient in grass 😓


And the reward? The view! and a very long downhill!


Late evening snack, what happened to dinner? A beautiful evening at Lake Ohau outlet.
