What a terrific day! All week the Bureau of Meteorology had been forecasting a hot sunny day, and when Saturday rolled around it did not disappoint. As the riders climbed to Balook to mercury climbed into the lower 30's, but down in the Latrobe Valley it reached a hot and sticky 35 as some riders took refuge in the Thorpdale Hotel and cooled of with a few beers. Life in the lead group sure is tough.
