Today was some what more relaxed in the caravan with a distinct lack of crosswinds. The stage was generally uphill with a good number of rollers and little climbs on the way to the final climbs of the day. We tried to get a couple guys up the road, but nothing doing. There was a strong break up the road all day that stayed away to the finish, but the guys did a great job staying out of trouble and getting up the hill better than those whose strength is riding in the gutter, in the wind, on the flats.
A few quick pictures before bed . . . getting to the top.
The view from the top . . .
The weather took a turn for the worse as soon as we got close to Invercargill.
The good news is that Mike has moved himself up into 15th on GC after his 7th place finish today.
