There is a 4 rider grupetto behind me, not far, surely. I'm tiring of all this chasing.

I can't believe I'm here, short stops for the win. We make it to Peats Ridge for our final checkpoint of the day, my longest at 15 minutes. While we are here Howard mentions how Tom quietly heads off, a little chuckle as we watch Tom go. Before I leave I decide on a quick toilet break. I come back to discover they have left the scene without me! Seriously, not even gone 2 minutes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59486115db29d6ff1fdc929a/1500199082174-ZFWSVKXEVVH9VLY3CEX6/image-asset.jpeg Work Tom and Howard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/59486115db29d6ff1fdc929a/1500196080871-FYIQF2R0KPHRUPFEX1MC/DSC05443.jpg Work I see Bec a few hundred meters ahead but it takes me 6km to catch her.

While James signs my card I comment on trying to catch riders and take photos, I'm told (by a rider sipping his coffee) that there is no time for photo taking.
