Yet again OTB turned up in numbers to ride NZ’s largest fun ride, as a collective we participated across all events and distances and turned in some great performances.  If you felt your time was down on previous years, it’s OK so were a majority of other riders. 

Great comradery, some sensational results and warming to hear all the tales from the road – it was very nice to see Juliette Listers’ training rewarded with and easy sub 5:00 and a decent number of OTB turn out to cheer on Janet as she finished >36 hours in the saddle
