what a great day, jason, mick, nick thanks out of 251 rides in veterans [30-39] i place 109th. i am quiet sore but just loved it. nuff said. im hooked! blown away by nick and jason, nick pulled 26th in our class, and jason i think 26th in his. amazing!
the puch sold. i am so amazed, i still remember walking up the driveway with the puch over my should and karen on the deck say “you, what is that???!!!!” and being cranky. well for $78.50 whos cranky now! no-one. now what to do with my hard earned cash!
the dirt works is only a week away and i am a little nervous about it all. i still don’t have a functioning MTB and i haven’t had any really training. the front derailluer is on its way, lets hope it arrives monday and i can try and install it myself, if not it will be off to the LBS. i rode tarini to winmalee on thursday, day off as karen was ill, and got a flat just before the shops. i locked him up and walked back home. bloody road tires! i did however get a 20km+ ride in today on him so i am trying to keep up some kind of riding schedule. 20km isn’t much but i did push hard on the hills etc.
jas and i will travel together. hes on the 100km so we can camp close to the track start line, as should nick and his brother be able to. i will take the camera to try and get some shots after i finish. can’t wait. its going to be hard but lots of fun. weather is very iffy again. i will probably pick up some gels and electrolites etc if i can before the race.
