This year it was wet! Well, not maybe the whole ride, but it starting raining before we got to Landsborough. Then it was constant pretty much the rest of the ride.
I would say the rider count was done this year, pretty much only hard case riders like myself!
Only one other bent this year, John Hague from Geelong on an M5 CHR.
I did the ride about 10 mins quicker than last year, and finished in 3 hr 31 mins.
Not too shabby, about 25 mins behind the fastest DF riders.
My speedo shows over 2200m of climbing, but I dunno if thats right. I suspect the altimeter is not the most accurate around.
Apart from being soaked to the skin, it was a reasonably enjoyable ride. Did it pretty easy, and kept the stops quite short.
