Aargh, c'mon guys. Stop this negativity. I realise there are many riders who spent lots of money getting here to do the ride but stop being so selfish. This will be my 7th ride and I for one will be doing 47km with pride. I, as I'm sure lots of other riders too have spent the last 3 nights fighting raging infernos and where I on more than 3 occasions thought I was not going to make it out of the flames. Have a heart and respect those who were directly affected.
