Many expected the one climb up Mount Kiera to be where the women's race was going to kick off. Yet as Gladys Verhulst (France) looked over her shoulder, there was no one chasing. In fact, it seemed the whole peloton was going to wait until they hit the city circuit in Wollongong before they started (to quote Phil Liggett) to turn a pedal in anger. Verhulst had about forty seconds on those behind, but with 127 kilometers to race, it didn't mean much. While the climb wasn't late enough in the race to be decisive, it was enough to but an end to the day of many riders who weren't in the elite peloton ranks.
This is a small 4x6 inch original watercolor painting that is available through my website at greigleach.com or you can simply follow the direct link at the end of the post to purchase the painting above. Since it is an original work of art, it is a first come first served reality. The painting was created using Yarka St. Petersburg watercolors and Steve Quiller brushes from www.Richesonart.com. The work sells for $90 USD including shipping, and yes, international shipping is available.
If you can't afford to purchase a piece you could always help keep me going by buying me a cup of coffee at buymeacoffee.com/greigsartc. And check out my vlogs at my YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLGX-TnjXDSkkOidUE6pN1g
