Finally off to Canada tomorrow morning.
Thank you to all who have made this possible...to participate and really "have a crack" at the World Solo Champs.

I can promise you all this - I will do my very best, and will go through as much pain and suffering that I can handle.
There is a quote I like to think about when I dont think I can go on anymore:
"Only those who will risk going too far can possibly find out how far one can go."
You just never know your limits unless you test them and this is what going to the World Championships is all about for me.  Oh and a win would be nice if it should eventuate due to my race plan...non committal I know but a 24hr race is never over until the 24hrs is up...and thats a long time to race, so you have to keep calm and smart.

I will be keeping this website updated whilst I am gone and also keeping my Twitter page up to date with info.

Talk soon, off to enjoy some pasta and a glass of wine.

Hey There!  Today we are down to 32 days until I am racing the World Solo 24 hr Championships in Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

Training is going great.  Riding heaps of road, and having fun in the mud on the mountain bike.

Here is my new GIANT - TCF Kit, thanks to them both.

The Road race over and done with at Broadford, we were now off to Bendigo for the 6 hr Enduro.  Last year I was on fire and completed 11 laps. This year I already felt fatigued before I even got on the bike, however was keen to back up for the sake of some solid 24hr training.  Ouch- a rama style.  Even our practice lap on Saturday afternoon was a little more hurty than normal and I was just not keeping up as normal...let alone pushing and leading the group.  Oh this was going to be a long day tomorrow.  More to the point, Peta Mullens who was at the road race yesterday, was going to to be pushing me harder than I was interested in.  But thats racing.  As I stated - Hurt Fest Day 2!

We had a delightful time camping and going out to dinner so I was really stoked to have such as awesome company.  We had 27 people for dinner and a camp full of people back at the race course.

This was without a doubt one of my toughest races since Kona 24 hr last year in December.  A great learning curve, well done to Peta and well done to the rest of the RDS crew.  thanks Norm for pushing me along and allowing me to secure 2nd place.
