puch gone, dirty 50 a week away
the puch sold. i am so amazed, i still remember walking up the driveway with the puch over my should and karen on the deck say "you, what is that???!!!!" and being cranky. well for $78.50 whos cranky now! no-one.
now what to do with my hard earned cash!
the dirt works is only a week away and i am a little nervous about it all. i still don't have a functioning MTB and i haven't had any really training. the front derailluer is on its way, lets hope it arrives monday and i can try and install it myself, if not it will be off to the LBS.
i rode tarini to winmalee on thursday, day off as karen was ill, and got a flat just before the shops. i locked him up and walked back home. bloody road tires! i did however get a 20km+ ride in today on him so i am trying to keep up some kind of riding schedule. 20km isn't much but i did push hard on the hills etc.
jas and i will travel together. hes on the 100km so we can camp close to the track start line, as should nick and his brother be able to. i will take the camera to try and get some shots after i finish. can't wait. its going to be hard but lots of fun. weather is very iffy again. i will probably pick up some gels and electrolites etc if i can before the race.

Matt, I dunno if you have them in Aus, but rather than those disgusting gels, pack a half dozen fig newtons, they're a good combo of carbs and sugars. This might be of help for your upcoming century.
