Five and a bit weeks

With only 5 weeks and a few days to go I would hope the team are already training hard? This weekend we did a short but tricky - because of the wind mountain bike ride from Remos in Mt Edgecombe through the TH Cane. Was not a difficult ride but was a typical MTB ride with loads of technical issues, my poor mate Peter who is on a no carbs diet blew about 20kms into the ride and then we spent most of the return route fixing his slow puncture. Anyway we got back safely and finished with about a 2h45 ride, not really enough with the big distances less than six weeks away. I seriously need to lose a few more kgs if I am to enjoy the ride.

Back to the actual ride, seriously need to see some kind of sponsorship this year, the pressure will be on us to raise more than the total from last year so I am going to start tapping the corporates I deal with this week.
