One of the highlights of my cycling CV was descending Weldborough Pass in Tasmania on the '83 CTA Tour. A long, winding descent through a dense, green, fern-lined forest. That put me on an absolute high. I sailed past the group and sat quietly in the forest to collect my thoughts.
Not far behind Welborough Pass is Kleber's iconic S bend between Pemberton and Nannup. I first rode this hill on the inaugral CTA South-West Tour in 1975. However, it wasn't until 1988 when I shot a CTA peloton on the Bicentennial Tour that I appreciated the visual impact of this tuart forest curve.
26 years later on the same bend in the road photographing 43 CTA cyclists gliding effortlessly around the S band like a group of brightly coloured parrots. Few sights make a cyclist's heart zing more than this.
