15 October - Terrey Hills

We organised this ride for some folks who were keen to get some mountain biking under their belt for a 36 hour 150km Run, Ride, Swim and Abseil race coming up... Welcome to Steve, Dale and Asher, who did brilliantly and we'll see you out there on the trail again soon I hope.

Wow, what a turnout. 19 riders, I think this has broken the record, whatever that was! After yesterday's heat it was a beautiful cool morning. Marred by some dog troubles (Celia's Labrador sucked down too much mud and Christina's dog threw a fit at not being allowed to go). Some great stacks and we were lucky enough to catch one on camera. It was funny, Greg said, let's wait at the bottom and get some photos, we might even get someone falling off.. chuckle, chuckle.. and.. well, check out the day's photo gallery for more...

Asides from having photos of you sweating, puffing and bleeding published on the Internet, I had an absolute blast and for such a large number of riders it worked out really well. There was a small breakaway at the end, but fortunately they got back early enough to order a coffee for me - Thanks Greg!
