Youโre an inspiration!! @h0llyrebecca
Take a bow NIGEL HILL( @the_intuitive_runner2) ๐
Your 2024 100KM Male CHAMPION at the Surf Coast Century.
The race winning move, Shimano Gravel Muster 2024.
@karl.with.a_k put ~30 seconds into his nearest rivals (Mitch Anderson, @technicalfabrics @richie_porte, Lachlan Allison) during stage 1 of the Muster and no one could claw it back over the next 3 days of racing.
Fortune favours the brave ๐

Thanks again to all riders for coming and making this event something we think will become an institution on the Aussie cycling calendar. (As Toby from Shimano said in his post-race speech "we're in this for the long run". And so are we!).
