A new .com!
Oh, and I booked my flights last week!!!!!! It kind of feels like there’s just one more step before I go past the ‘point of no return’. Not that I would want to turn back, but it’s definitely a pretty freaky feeling! That last step is to pay for the flights in full, which will be done this week! My race schedule is also now fully confirmed and I’m entered for the first event which is a 3 day tour with some loooooong stages. Imagine riding round Taupo and then some with 2 days and 3 stages already in your legs! That’s what I’ll be doing on day 3 of the Elkhorn Classic Stage Race in just under 2 months time. There’s kind of a cool story to this one too. In getting in touch with the organisers I got a reply back just after they’d got some exciting news - local business women had come together and were going to match womens prize money with mens, and they are going to house the women who enter as well! It’s nice to know that I’ll have somewhere local and comfortable to stay - tours are hard work so anything that benefits recovery is welcomed.
This coming weekend means race 2 of the Wellington Short Track series. The call has gone out for a kiddies race so if we have the numbers we’ll squeeze in a race for them. Rego is from 9am at the end of Waiu Road in Wainuiomata. The course is pretty different for this one - much less technical and a nice stretch of straight where the power-houses will shine, but still plenty of fun too.
Shortly I’m heading out to the Upper Hutt Sports Awards - Gav was nominated for Sportsman of the Year and I’d hate to miss it if he wins! He’ll be fresh back from 4th place at single speed nats yesterday up in Rotorua.
Training is going well. I’m loving the hours on the bike. The days are getting shorter but the weather has been nice and calm recently. Certainly some cooler weather too - but at least this year it’s not for much longer!
A word vomit explosion!!! I’m glad to hear about that
