Last week Norm was in Sydney for the week. He got home Friday morning around 1am. We then got some work done all day Friday, met a lovely new person, Sara, who may be moving to Forrest to do wonderful new things, food and MTB related and then headed off to Torquay for a debrief on the camp with Shane, Lorenzo, Adam, Liz, Sara, Norm, Me, Kate, Leah...I think that was all!
I had to pack my bags for the whole weekend as I was not coming home.
Here is the weekends events:
Friday night, Torquay, meeting, stay at Adams with Liz
Norm was in Sydney all week and got back this morning at around 1am.
So I have been single mother, working bits and pieces in Geelong and being a mother to Saskia when I eventually get home!
Wednesday and Thursday though, I managed to have some wonderful exploratorive rides by myself.
Wednesday I went out on the MTB in the mud, with dry weather tyres on. Talk about slippery! But after a few runs I was letting my rear slide through corners deliberately. I found this awesome motorcross downhill and rode that too. Dirty from head to toe, I had a great time. Mental note - must go for these sorts of rides more often! FUN first remember.
Thursday I was in Geelong and had to go to Torquay around 9am and then had a bunch of spare time. Packed the road bike and left fom Torkers, rode to Bells and then took a detour to Pt Addis. check out the pics! Aaaaahhhhhhhhh, how relaxing to just be riding for the sake of it. Rode back to Torquay via Forest Rd and could not help but to time trial it the rest of the way home. Only did around 55km, but had a ball.
Christy and I joined forces again for another year of the Anaconda Enduro series. entering again in Female Pro Pairs, the contest was hot. Tory and Katherine, Naomi and Jo, Jo and Jaci, Jenni and Niki, Katie and Ali. Our goal was fun first, then functional(of course). The fun being racing as fast as we could and passing as many males as we could. Functional being an awesome training ride if nothing else! Our results personally were pretty good, and I was happy with some fast lap times. We came 5th out of 6. Next time we will aim to go harder and faster! Bring on June 1st. 6hours of fun!
I have just spent the weekend running our first MTB skills camp at Eumeralla and Norm and I had a ball. We hope to have convinced some of our campers to race at the next round!
Here is a picture of all the bikes lined up outside a cafe in Anglesea.
This weekend I have the GMBC 3 hour twilight race and then on the Sunday I have the Duathlon with Liz in a pair. I am doing the MTB and Liz is doing the running. More fun!
