Is any one riding this week?

All the 50+ roadies at work are overly excited about Taupo.

I planned on it but unfortunately this year I got fatter and poorer, both of which are barriers to entering this event.

it was a thought, but the chance to play with rally cars in the south island seemed like more fun

Yup. First lap of the lake since 2010 and I think the 8th in total (plus one mtb last year). Weather not looking especially choice but.

holy crap, what were the enduro riders on????

I had a coffee with Robbie McEwen yesterday and he questioned the sanity of all of those who did more than 2 laps. In his words "If you want a challenge why don't you do a crossword... even a cryptic one if you want to go really hard out".

Agree 100% but there is crazier sh*t than that going on out there ---

I agree, but the Enduro IS the two laps, and they came in under 9hrs. Well organised bunch I guess!

That was madness

Holy crap!

Whatever’s next, don’t expect Kurtz or any of the others to try and go out and beat their times.

“We’ll never do that again" he says.
