Dude I did the Tour de Brisbane yesterday and watched your vid a number of times prior to get a feel for it. Amazing experience. I had those two darn songs in my head for the entire ride!
Thanks for the video - Doing it for the first time this year - I'll be way up the back in the 55+ slomo category - Mt Coot-Tha still worries me - big hill so late in the ride...
Happy you enjoyed it! Hey it's the experience that counts, one of a kind for sure. Cootha definitely is the killer at such a late part of the ride but I'm sure you'll smash it mate. There's nothing like the descent on closed roads to look forward after all that hard work getting up!
Nope, just brought 2x 900ml bottles of water with carb mix and a bunch of gels. If you have a group to ride with its best to stay in for the draft otherwise it's a lot more work rolling solo or in a small bunch. I managed to stay in the front group with at least 60 people which meant lots of space to rest and keep a high speed.
