Sani2c 2008

Lorna, Ruth, Jimmy, Nick and Richard all did the Subaru Sani2c this year. I went along as supporter with Pippa and Lorna's mom. Here are a couple of photos.

You can find most of my photos on here.

Day 1 (all day 1 photos)

A cool day for the start and everyone was looking keen and excited at the start.







Later as people were coming up a nice big climb:





... and later ...




and finishing day 1!



Camping was well organised.



and everyone went to bed pretty early...



Day 2 (all day 2 photos)

Day 2 started off very foggy. Supporters had to leave before the cyclists. We headed off to the concrete strip. This is a strip of concrete down a steep incline. Saw one nasty fall there due to a rider attempting a wheelie on the strip and slipping in the moist conditions. That was his race over...





We spotted got Lorna & Ruth just after a water stop with some pretty dirty faces.



The day was getting long and hot. Riders needed support halfway:



Luckily there was a shower further on.







And a nice tent was waiting...



Day 3 (all photos)

Another foggy start but this time there was some clay pigeon shooting to get the riders started.







We caught up with them later as they were entering a forest.







Later when it was warmer they were cycling through sugar cane fields.





Everyone was very happy at the finish. It went to Ruth's head a bit too...





Drinks were enjoyed at the award function afterwards...
