It's been ages!

I'm not quite sure if I have been too busy to post an update, or just plain lazy?!! The past six weeks have been pretty busy in our house - with kids, work, and selling our house, I have not had a lot of time for anything else! After the Black Stump ride in the middle of February, my mountain bike had been left hanging cloaked in mud on the garage wall. I finally took it down a couple of weekends ago and zipped out to Pukete for a ride. I had a blast!

The momentum of the big wheels, the suppleness of the suspension, and the speed were all savoured on my short excursion. And it felt good to feel like I was breathing and working hard aerobically. My other rides are usually sessions at the BMX track, focussing more on technique than going fast (I'm just too damned chicken!). Fingers crossed for much more riding over the coming months. Winter?? What winter...?

On Easter saturday I spent the whole day riding with friends. A tour of local BMX tracks - Te Awamutu, Cambridge, and Hamilton. Lots of laughs, heaps of riding, some relaxing, and endless talk.  I even got some air!
