I will begin by saying, WOW, what an amazing experience!!!! 40 People, mostly strangers, but all with one thing in common, we love to ride!
This aging body of mine was about to take part in a new type of challenge. Somewhere I haven't been before, let alone ridden and the longest ride prior to Inverloch for me was 103km and the highest climb ever being Yarra St along the Kew Boulevard. SO Bring it on!!

Now, when you decide to enter into an event and within the title there is a word that says "Challenger", don't take it lightly. The SKCC Ridewiser Inverloch Challenger Camp 2013 was certainly that.

On Friday 19th April after a 2hrs 15mins drive, we arrive at the RACV resort Inverloch, the weather outlook for the weekend looking good but for our introductory ride of 25km, that was looking grim, dark clouds in the distance and the wind was at its coast side best, windy, wild and the rain was imminent!!!
