24 Hour Kiwis Settling In Before Taking On The World

Well, here we are, Thomas and myself settling in to a bit of altitude and rather tough-looking track. Epic climbs and fast, rooty descents... I suppose they were never going to make the world champs easy aye? {Big Grin}

Track loop is 25km long for soloists (it's a long one), with 3 main climbs and 2100m climbing in total per lap. Weather has been amazing to date and is hopefully going to hold out for the weekend... No MP3 players (I pity anyone riding behind Thomas who has to listen to his singing)...

Competition is shaping up to be pretty tough, too, with most of our competitors arriving this week... And our support crews in tow arriving later this week...

CAN'T WAIT!!! Will keep you all posted and will let you know when we recieve the webcast address.
