On yer bike
We all had a blast at the McLean's Island Reserve mountain-bike track. The track is in excellent condition, well graded & maintained, dry with some excellent berms on the corners.

Shiny new bike
Picked up a new bike at the weekend, just in time for this year's Queen Charlotte trip. It's a beaut!

Cannonball Run II
Another stonking ride along the Queen Charlotte Track in the Marlborough Sounds with Mac, Dorje, Greg, Tim, Simon, Corey & Mike. 90kms, 2000m+ ascent, 6hrs 15mins ride time over 2 days of "undulating" (!) single track. Surprisingly, not much damage done (no stapling required this year), even when blasting down through the beech forest above Portage skittling possums out of the way, trying to get down to the hotel before it got completely pitch black...

Rainbow Raging
I've just competed in the 9th Annual Rainbow Rage, aiming to beat 6 hours to complete the 106km adventure race along the Rainbow Road in some of NZ's high country. Great day, managing to keep up with Simon M on his single-speed, and I came in 577 out of about 1023 riders, in 5:58:29! Oldest competitor was 83, youngest was 11, and there were a number of tandems and paralympians. A couple of photos here.
