Wildside is finished!

I am pleased to report that the old man and I have struggled our way through 220 odd km of Tasy's hardest terrain over 3 and a half days. I now have a black toe, a gravel rashed shin and a reasonably deep cut on my elbow. Of course I'll put up pictures when I get back home. [ed: Wildside 2008 Gallery]

We finished 394th and 377th out of 425 riders for Dad and I respectively. I was just happy to have finished it but I do have to say that we were pretty much the only ones to do it on flat pedals and I was the only one to do it on a 7 inch travel freeride bike. That said, there were some incredibly hard core guys riding singlespeeds so I'll just keep my winging to myself i think.

The scenery was absolutely fantastic over the few days and to this point I am still trying to decide if Wildside 2010 will make its way onto my calender or not. Ill have to make some sort of pain vs gain ratio and decide!

Now just only pushups left to do until kapooka given that my cardio should just about be upto scratch by now!
