This year Lii Ling couldn’t ride, because of her recent shoulder surgery. It was tough without Lii Ling and her packed-full panniers, but Neil and the kids managed to cart all the necessary supplies through the 50km route 🙂
The weather cooperated – cool in the morning, no rain.
Early start around 5:30am:
Heading for the start – Nolan took the first turn with the trailer:

Our usual rest stop, on the DVP just off the Gardiner. Fuel up on fruit!:
Things are starting to heat up near the half-way point of the 25km route:
I don’t know what Lara’s pointing at, but it must be cool!:
The sky darkened for a bit:
Look ma, no hands!:
Obligatory selfie:
Made it! Next year we’ll figure out how to do it without a trailer. It’s hard to pack enough gear, especially given the new restrictions on bag sizes.
Everyone’s warmed up and well fed, smiles all around:
Totally an amazing adventure.
