I haven't looked at the SUB rides as I have so many other events already scheduled - there are four around the Wellington region I can do in the lead-up to Taupo, plus shorter distance triathlons in prep for Rotorua. As much as I would love to enter every event around I have to draw the line somewhere!

My solution to bike time right now is to ride to and from work. Unfortunately it's only about 6km from home to work - almost entirely downhill on the way in and then up a huge great big hill on the way home! Both ways involve cycling through multiple sets of traffic lights and rush hour traffic. However on days (unlike today) when the Wellington wind's not blowing near gale there's a great 28km route I can take home - mostly flat but with a long, slow 6km climb at the end. Unfortunately the climb is usually into the predominant Northerly, which funnels down the valley I have to climb up. NOT pleasant at the end of a long day in the office!

Nice work Pip

I'm struggling with getting enough bike time at the moment, so might have to just share Taupo ride with a friend ............ the unfortunate downside of moving overseas all the 'stuff' invloved with moving

Did you see the SUB rides dates are organised for summer ?
