Less than 2 weeks until the 2014 Great Divide Gran Fondo swings into what will be a very long day on the bike. For some it will be a journey into the unknown while others will know what to expect and can't wait for it to begin. The weather conditions really make the day, if it's windy and hot it makes for a more than memorable experience, even with good conditions it's a bloody long way.
Unfortunately we've had the withdrawal of Kaye from the ride and her beaming smile and sense of humor will be missed. On a positive note Orla from Gladstone looks like she'll be kitting up for her first crack at the Fondo; Orla I promise that you'll have a great day out full of emotions (mostly good lol).
To all other riders attending it's time you sorted out how you are getting to the Calliope IGA for the 4am start time. Be there ready at 3:50am for a quick brief before we roll out.
Dinner will be at the Frenchville Sports Club at 7pm which should give everyone enough time to freshen up. If we have good winds and finish earlier I'm sure we can start dinner early.
Any questions it's time to ask now! :-) If you have specific drinks, spares etc you need taken contact me sooner rather than the day before please.
