Dammo gave it to the gun climbers and in his own words was out of his league but still finished just behind the lead group. When asked how he was "shattered" came the response.
The rain came and went but the tailwind never gave up and at times the 50 strong peleton was hurtling along at 40+ kph which was sensational and saw us ahead of schedule all day.
The last stop of the day was at Thangool state school where once again we were met by the kids who had lined the streets. Thus gives the riders a huge morale boost.
This it was Kent's turn to have the zinc applied and the kids didn't disappoint although one little boy proved that you can actually be too aggressive in applying sunscreen!!!
The day finished with the traditional sprint into Biloela a 15km flat out sprint.
All afternoon Gav had been saying he was not going to contest but when the flag dropped Gav was off with Kent and Dammo barely hanging on. Gav's racing experience showed through......
