Sorry that the blog posts have been a bit sparse for Day 3 but it was a very big day and we spent most of them in areas where my Optus mobile couldn't connect to the internet. In summary though, the group made it back to Milton around 15 mins late thanks to some Broncos match traffic. We were behind schedule at lunch at Kalbar but thanks to some fanstastic team work amongst the entire peloton we made great time as we headed in towards Brisbane. Family and friends joined us at Milton for some celebratory speeches, sausage sangas thanks to Lions and sad goodbyes to new friends. Team CC (Cyc'd Club), as Sharky called us as the three Cyc'd hobbits overtook him on the climb out of Killarney, had at great time. Rowan's been there and done that a number of times with Smiddy rides so knew what to expect. The newbies had a great time, mingling with the other riders, assisting and supporting at times. From a personal point of view the highlight was the three of us climbing side by side with no one else around, having a chat, exchanging encouragements, spotting the lone breakaway rider ahead, hunting him down and then twisting the knife as we left him in our Cy'c'd wake. I know it's not a race but it's great to stretch the legs now and again to test yourself - but even better to do it together with your mates. Thanks. It was a great three days that finished too quickly. The people were great on and off the bike. The cause is fantastic .I've got the day off (enjoy work Jase) and I've got the washing machine on and a filthy bike in the garage that's going to get some TLC and maybe even a light afternoon ride to ease the tight legs. I'd encourage any cyclist to get involved in this cause. You'll do some great riding and meet some fantastic people. Here's a few photos from Tracy's camera. Enjoy
