Riding Day 3) Zoncolan. Nerves were evident in all. I stuck with my usual, "I'm not doing it" mantra.
I should point out that the pictures here are not of the steepest parts as there was no way I was going to stop and loose the minimal momentum that I had.
The view with 2km left to go.

This was as he asked me if we were, '"Stopping for a break" here. I gave a negative answer, climbing back on my bike and set off again.
View from the summit of Zoncolan.

DJ Shipping his chain 2 vertical metres from the top as he tried to change up to the bi9g ring for his photo finish (What a fucking cretin). The old guy stood to his left then proceeded to try and push him to the top.

I have to apologise to digger as I don't have a picture of him reaching the top.
Hippy will have to do the honours when he returns.
