Things are a gunna get BUSY.

As if they aren't already.

Lets start with work. We have our 2010 bike launch in Christchurch in 3 weeks & we have alot still to organise. Then when the show is on for 3 days, only 2 of us are staying in Tauranga, whilst the rest are at the show. Hope the phones are quiet.

After that we get things ready for the Jamis Day Night Thriller www.daynightthriller.co.nz/ MTB race in Taupo 12 September. We have a number of Pro teams competing so quite a bit of organisation. We have 2 houses booked for the weekend so looking forward to this event again.

Mid October we then sponsor the Bauer Express road race in Pukekohe www.pukekoheexpress.co.nz/. Whilst all this goes on we launch the new product & summer comes around, then we all go biking. Hopefully before Xmas Kathy & myself will get new TT bikes which we plan on racing in Perth.

On the home front Kathy will be back at Uni which means weekends away for us. I've got a duathlon this weekend then 70km bike race the following weekend. We'll both keep trying to train ever spare minute in between swim coaching, being a Leader at the kids Cub Scouts & watching the TDF.

All the time I keep telling myself Daylight savings aint far away then that extra light will be a godsend.

On a real high note for us at Jamis, it was awesome to see Richard Ussher podium at Challenge Roth. For Kathy & myself it was also pleasing to see Elina finish her first triathlon. A very small one but we all started somewhere. She really admired that fact that Kathy had done IMNZ & we wouldn't be surprised to see her on the start line sometime soon. Watch for Xterra next year.

After spending a bit of time with them back in May, Richard said his goal was to go hard with Normann Stadler. Well he did that & grabbed 3rd place on the podium.

The training went without a hitch this week & I got a good 92km bike ride in on Saturday morning.

Onward & upward. Remember,

Beer makes you fat & wine makes you lean......
