sHamner...

went to Hanmer for weekend... was good. rained heaps. Al and me went biking on saturday. trails were greeaasy. he showed me a bunch of tracks there's no way i would have found myself. fantastico!

soaked in the pools 3 times. lovely. O enjoyed himself, splashy splashy splashy...

buried T's grandfather yesterday. not the saddest of affairs, but when they played the last post, (on account of him being an old soldier) things got pretty teary. bunch of old soldiers there lined up and put Anzac poppies on the coffin. i was roped into pallbearing. O and Ph were both very well behaved throughout.

Better get on with this then...

Well, may as well start somewhere. Trouble is, i'm at work, and probably shouldnt actually be doing this.

rode last night, port hills, greeeaaasy, hit by waves of drizzle a few times. i was concerned my light wouldnt like the wet, but it seemed to deal pretty good. rocks and the rubber matting on the trails were diabolical. the rubber matting has a tendency to steer you in a way that is quite disconcerting... anyway, up rapaki, round the summit, pete and me did the single track whilst the others cruised on the road for the first bit. heading down through vic park pete crashed on the rocky bit before the gums. it was getting wetter and wetter as we got lower, another drizzle shower rolling in. then was dry when we were in the bottom of bowenvale. met some other riders heading down there...

working a bit late tonight. off to Hanmer for weekend. yippee.
