Not much to mention really as the weeks & km's just seem to be ticking by.
Last weekend I did manage my ride from Tauranga to Auckland, & in some strange way I really enjoyed the 238km / 8hr 45 min ride. The weather was pretty good considering what it was like on Friday & yes I did get my gentle southerly & a pie & coke at Ngatea. Mighty fine change to perpetuem.
So that brings me on to this weekends ride in which I hope to go over the Kaimais again then upto Te Aroha, over to Ohinewai then over the Waikato River at Glen Murray & come into Pukekohe the back way.
Sunday we have the company sponsored Bauer Express so I'm going to ride up & be a lead car for the race.
Will let you know next week if I make it.

Not much to mention.
The recovery week has gone fairly well & the legs are feeling ready for some more action.
The week only consisted of a crap 5km run on Tuesday, 83km between the 2 rides on Wednesday, a 3000m swim Thursday & 90km flat ride on Saturday. Will finish it off with 2800m in the pool this arvo.
So that leads into this week which will see the weekday rides moved to Tuesday so I can squeeze in Wednesday night summer yacht racing ( just for the next 2 weeks till the Coastal Classic race Labour weekend ). Normal swim Thursday, hopefully a small run, then the biggie.
With school holidays & Kathy's last exam, she'll be taking the kids to Auckland on Friday to visit the Zoo & stay with her mother on Saturday. Dad will join them sometime Saturday afternoon once he has cycled there via the Kaimais, Paeroa, Miranda & up the East Coast Rd to Kawakawa Bay. Somewhere along the journey ( Miranda ?? ) I will hopefully run into my Round Taupo cycling buddie who will make his way from Auckland. Then off into town we go.
So this week I need to eat well & get plenty of sleep, & hope for great weather with a nice southerly blowing.
Will let you all know how it goes.
