Wow... a long ride that ended lumpy but dominated by one thing ... the sight of the mountains! totally awesome and somewhat scary!
The mood was somewhat quite at breakfast with the prospect of riding over 100 miles and the promise of some big hard climbs playing heavy on everyone's mind! The ride started with a few long steady climbs which unfortunately claimed our first victim... Kirk claimed the tittybabby award for needing the van! We did take the mick but to be honest as the day went on the laugh was on the other foot! god it got lumpy towards the end and we're not even in the mountains yet!
Our resident weather man Al (he's been spot on all along) said the forecast was set to be fine and getting better.
The pace was high and the miles flew by... by the time our lunch stop came around we were blessed with beautiful sun shine :)
Kirk and Chuggy's cafe.
The best was yet to come! just around the corner!!!
All the way to Lourdes the ride was dominated by the view of the mountains! lumpy hills mean... fantastic decent's... and i mean fantastic! Video's to come!
As the mountains got bigger and bigger what the hell are we doing was the thought on my mind! Bring it on!
