Well today turned out to be a pretty epic ride I must say. The good news is I concored Mt Kendal. So the day before I went with Alexandra and her husband Bernd to check out the race course for this Sundays race. It turned out to be a 20km ride there rather than the 10km’s I was told. That was cool. We rode a few laps of the course, I loved it, and then we rode back. With riding to meet them at their gym, claning the family pool and then this ride by ...

So after the morning of riding it was time to get ready.

So a bit of a frenzie for the rest of us and off to the church. Got a good close possie ...

Finally Kellie and I decided on Thai for dinner which was a welcom...

Got a call about 15min later from head office saying unless we were on a trian we had to go to the main office, no big drama so that was fine. We got to the main office and sign...

Well this is a message of mixed emotion. Its been pretty busy since my last update and finally the event is over. It was huge but the weather was crap. It rained on Friday a bit but then heaps on Saturday for the Marathon and then again on Sunday for the XC. The race on Sunday came down to a matter of survival for rider and equipment. After riding the 42km course on the Thursday I was keen to race but when I asked it seemed it would not be possible due to w...
