NH17 Ride, Guhagar, morning

Getting ready to ride after the morning briefing by the tour leaders. Clear skies today, but with the sun out it promises to be a hot and sticky day.

One of the riders has taken ill with fever so his bike is loaded on to the support truck while he continues the trip in the support vehicle.
