West coast fun

Not really tlj related, but mark hearfield and I were part of a group of 21 mainly wellingtonians that headed down to the south island to ride the heaphy track.

We managed to get a weekend of great weather which is always a surprise on the west coast, and great fun was had by all. The track was pretty boggy and a lot harder work than expected but well worth the effort, with a group heading in the opposite direction getting caught out, and having to spend the night in the hut we had fully booked out.

Recommended for the fit, or for people willing to take 3 or more days over it.

Burglars?

Rachel and I have recently had to gives back our 2 biggest trophies-the women's crazy man individual which is now with Elina Ussher, and the national rogaine champs which is now Emma and Guy de Lacey.

As we've been doing very little other than getting married this year, we decided to enter the annual city safari rogaine in the 3 hour category, and after making good use of the real time system and rach's smart phone, we cleared karori and tinakori to win by a healthy margin.
