The Beaver (aka Blenheim)

As far as success goes some might see the events of this mornings race as a failure.. But then anyone that knows me also probably knows i don't really slot into the confines of social normality...
So yea i got my ass handed to me by the talented Anja ; it probably would have happened anyway but blowing after about 20 didn't make it any prettier. So yea, it sucked but the course was good and I had a blast.


I flew into blenheim about 36hours ago and within that time i have
Ridden airport -Blenheim
Ridden around Blenheim about 20times
Discovered this was once known as 'the beaver' LOL
Hitched from one side of Blenheim to the other (got a flattie)
Met a frenchy, Bulgarian, Argentinians, korean, japanese and a few locals
Got to know a rad chick 'jules' whom is apart of Liv/giant too
Race an epic CX race
Experienced about 10 quality earthquakes (serious)
Rode back to airport and recollected my bike box

So yea, an epic 36ish hours and now totally ready to head home, hit the hay and wander into work tomorrow.




All that one needs to venture south for a few days. THANK goodness it was warm and dryish!

Post race commute to the Blenheim Airport.
