Training...

Slowly kicking the training up a gear...
Biked out to the top of Wainuiomata Hill on Saturday to dig new mountain bike tracks for 4 hours (well ok - dig, talk, fluff around...) - cycle computer battery seems to have died but I'd reckon it's about 25km to get there. That hill though - pretty bloody steep!! Unfortunately got caught pushing about 50m of it, but did ride the rest :+)
Found that riding out there, then all the digging took more out of me than expected - so thankfully I was given a sandwich AND also a coffee by some lovely friends, so was able to power home again at the end :+)
Plan to do the same again this Saturday (weather permitting & this time taking more food with me!), followed by a big day on the bike at a skills course at Makara on Sunday... Will be interesting to see how my butt holds up to all that time on the bike!!
