Enjoy the road trip with your special girls John.

sifter went biking!

Plenty of words, and a few pretty pics. Gravel road enthusiasts should have the Old Motu Coach Road on their lists... Great ride thanks Kennett Bros!

Good stuff as always, and I'm glad you didn't race today. :thumbsup:

Yep - I reckon there would have been a very good chance of something going wrong. The last thing I need two weeks out from the Ak Attack and three from the Brevet is a crash or to get sick...

including the most awesome bush-shit I've ever done

I was a little worried when I read that bit and saw the top of a photograph that appeared to feature undergrowthish vegetation lurking just below...

Yeah - sorry about that... :blush:

Nice to meet you IRL finally

Likewise. It's always a relief to find out that people on here aren't just in my imagination.

Sounds like a good break. Your girls, fun stuff and a cool ride. :thumbsup:

Good work! The next time I see the 'black dog' when I'm out riding I might just try your 'take 2 bush-shits' therapy. I reckon you could be on to something there. Looking forward to the next update.

Another belated update... Karapoti Original - if you're not going to smash your PB this Karapoti, I'd seriously consider doing the original on the Sunday and saving $35! In fact, that's exactly what I'm doing...

Last training ride before the Kiwi Brevet - the 2010 Akatarawa Attack

Nice one maing - needs a points/controls total though, IMO. Congratulations on a classy win. :thumbsup:

Excellent read.

Must pick up a map and check out the tracks that I have and (especially) haven't ridden.

The by-pass between the 1st and 2nd Sister is a keeper I reckon. So fast when the track isn't quite so slippy.

But then I like the true Three Sisters too.

Nice read sifter, you sure you wont change your mind on next years event?
