Day 01 – woooohooooooooooooo! And it begins! It is so surreal to think that we start riding on Friday. A literal year of planning coming to fruition…
Friday’s stage takes us from the heart of the mother city out on the Dubanville road to Wellington. The stage is a 73 km long and is sponsored by iScrip – People & Technology. We have to use this opportunity to send out a massive thank you to iScrip for sponsoring not only this stage but a total of 3 stages!
