Review of the year/plans for 2009....
According to
http://www.nubike.com/forums/3-old-boys/forum_threads/2937-what-events-in-2-8-tickle-your-fancy-
This year's report:
"3 peaks cx at the second attempt" - tick, never again mind!
"Possibly a half marathon" - tick, another in the spring and then probably never again
"Hopefully a week's touring in Scotland in the spring" - er, no.
"Oh and some mountain biking" - yes but nowhere near enough.
2009 will hopefully bring:
Another half marathon (why oh why oh why)
24hr racing again (having managed 45 minutes in the last two years)
Maybe a solo 12....
Some Welsh enduros
Lots more time spent riding from the front door and exploring natural trails :-)
Pat Adams 24hr road race anybody - FAIL
Or how about the Kona Sleepless in the Saddle race in Finland - FAIL
Coast to Coast - FAIL
If 24hr racing isn't enough, how about a 48hr race...
