Besides going on holiday to soak up the sun from various spots in the country I have got a nice big racing season lined up. At the end of this month I will leave the trails in peace for a moment while I get in touch with my inner roadie side and compete in the Tour de Femme. That should be a fun way to suffer somewhat in the build up for the XC Nationals.

I was lucky enough (or unlucky) to go for a training ride with Samara, Trevor and Jerry from Petone to Martinborough. Riding along the coast is amazing, a real rugged wind blown landscape. The riding was great until we go on the road heading form the coast to Martinborough and the headwind took it out of me, but I was lucky enough to have got to the paddle/bike transition of the home to pub race before Jill had arrived. So I offered to ‘help’ Jill (to get a ride in the van) and let the others ride on to Martinborough in the now stronger headwind. It took them just over 5 hours to ride 104km (I stopped after 4 1/2 hours).
