First Ride Success

Vic and Wayne completed their first 10kms on the road with success.  No crashes.  No swearing.  No near misses.  Just a few wobbles now and then.  They just need to do it more often and they'll be away.  The ride was finished off nicely with a shandy at New Brew in the afternoon sunshine.  Bliss!

Newbies On The Road

Vic, who I work with, and her fiancee Wayne have just bought new bikes.  Vic has signed up in Team Awesome for The Ride to Conquer Cancer 2014.  I'm working on getting Wayne there.  They haven't had much luck going for rides and when they do they've fallen off.... So this afternoon I'm taking them to an industrial area and practising unclipping and re-clipping and a bit of biking etiquette.  Hopefully they survive with no falls or crashes.... and a well earned beer or coffee at the end.

Saturday Silverdale Social Superstar Sycle

Awesome ride today.  Sun was shining, great company, loads of laughs and I felt fabulous climbing the hills.  Roll on Taupo next weekend.  Check out the stunning view and weather!

Hurtbox Tuesday

It felt like I had ridden 200kms in the weekend on Tuesday.  Still great to get out on the bike again.  The sunrise was amazing.  I should stop and take a photo one day.

Auckland Ride To Conquer Cancer

What an amazingly epically awesomely weekend the Auckland RIde To Conquer Cancer was.  The incredible camaraderie, positive atmosphere, awesome people, fabulous stories, sad stories, heroic stories.  You name it! 
It was an honour to be part of it.  An honour to wear the polka dot shirt.  An honour to be part of a great team in Team Echelon.  
A magical life event!  AWESOME.  Roll on 2014 where Team Awesome will take part.

Red Light Ride

I had one of those rides where I hit almost EVERY red light.  Felt a bit heavy and slow with not a hell of a lot of energy too.  Oh well can't be totes awesome every ride!  Saving it for the weekend when we do the Conquer Cancer ride.
