As requested by the Alpine Cycling Club, we left Bright early to find a spot on the hill, drove to Hotham but couldn't find COFFEE.....so went back to a spot I thought might be good for both taking pics and for being a spectator, and then wished I had packed some warm gloves.
Hubby sat in the car with a heater and the paper and I sat on the road.......all riders seemed happy to be 3km from the end of the Mountain.
Here are quite a few pics from the Hotham stage. As mentioned previously I will have full galleries by the end of the weekend as time is hard to find.
