Training...5 weeks to go

Well... for the last 4 weeks the training has stepped up. Over Xmas I was able to hook into some pretty descent mileage getting in a good solid 700k week with a ride up to Ruakaka via Highway 16. With over 2k in ascending it was a tuff but satisfying day. The last 4 weeks have been steady training at around 15-18 hours per week, I'm starting to feel a bit more confident with the task ahead.
Last Sunday, the Bluff to Cape Bunch set off on a bit of a tester. We met at the usual spot at the top of Albany hill and set off for Shelly Beach via Hellensville. Some 5 1/2 hrs later and 150km's in total....3 punctures and one bungee cord wrapped in Dave's Derailleur?? ....we arrived at our destination Mozaic Cafe..So it was satisfying to get that under our belts, roll on March 2nd
Adios for now
