Some years ago I used to ride the route about once a month, setting out from home at about 2:30 am.

 

Going through the tunnels without a light at 3am was "interesting"

Going down the mountain I just followed the white line, and once when I it got light enough for me to read my cycle computer I discovered my maximum speed down in the dark was 86km/hr

I did it last year.

Booked accommodation for 2014 the day we left.

Great race. Just lunch last year was a problem. We will take our own lunch in a cooler box on the tog bag bus.

My SO went on the supporter bus, and by the end of stage three, they had convinced the Premier to arrange booze from the local shebeen.

She insists that I book the bus for her again this year.
