CC & Pip - It was a ok day in the end, not windy (thank god) but wet at the bottom of the lake round the mountain................. there was a heap of falls though, a couple nasty looking

Very happy with my effort, powered up the hills overtaking which amazed me Finished 6.33......... As alwasy I'm so impressed with the organisation of the this ride, they do a outstanding effort to get 11, 000 riders round the lake !

If you come out to visit the rellies again, pop down to Taupo , there a fab new mountain bike track from Whakaipo Bay to Kinloch...... 14kms with plenty of hillies we walked it on sunday and I was wishing I'd have brought the mountain bike down as well
