March 1 Friday – Queenstown And just like that, today was the final day of racing. The lifestyle of the week has been sensational. Someone else provides all my meals, makes lunch for me and even does the cleaning up. I just have to look after myself and my bike J Happy days! My bike […]

Feb 28 Thursday – Alexandra Follow the pink dots. An overcast day greeted us bat at least it wasn’t raining.  Today we load up and head to Alexandra some 100km away from Queenstown.  It’s absolutely freezing and the bus feels like a mobile freezer.  Alexandra is nothing like the other places we have been riding, it’s […]

Feb 27 Wednesday – Cardrona I didn’t stab Frenchie while she slept but she was no longer on my Christmas card list after yesterday. However, my mind was once again focused on the weather.  The rain had started last night and down it poured. Temperatures haven’t left the teens all week and today we are back […]

Feb 26 Tuesday – Coronet Peak A frosty cold but glorious blue sky day greeted us for our first day in Queenstown. Damn what a change from the past few days. Feeling somewhat okay about today’s race as I have ridden some of the trails here before.  We get driven up to Coronet Peak base […]

Feb 25 Monday – Craigieburn (the real day 2…) Heavy rain fell again overnight and more mist, clouds, rain and snow topped mountains greeted us as we dashed into the breakfast hall.  I had spent every waking moment giving myself a good solid talking to. I had survived yesterday and I can do this.  This […]

I don’t believe in women specific bikes. We don’t have women specific cars. Or computers.  There are no women’s specific javelin.  The hurdles are the same height for both men and women. There are no women’s specific lawnmowers or cordless drills, so why the hell are we still going through this phase of slapping on […]

As I wipe my the sweat from my greasy eyebrow and not so subtlety wipe it on my pants, I declare that my new life goal is to make sweating publicly acceptable. It’s hot outside and I’m sweating. Correction, it’s hotter than Satan’s ball sack in hell kind of hot. I live in the subtropics […]

Mt Buller race day!!!! Sometime around midnight I woke up to Thor the god of thunder, releasing a pack of wild hippo’s on the roof our lodge. The whole building shook with the booming as a tap dancing moose pounded on my chest with the pressure waves from the thunder. Normally with storms I’m a […]
