Ridin round Lake Hawea

For Anzac Weekend I went down to lovely Queenstown to hang out with Seano the Porno and do a wee ride around a Lake...The Lake Hawea Contact Energy Race was on, so we thought we'd do it...it's also called 'NZ's Ultimate Mountainbike Challenge' and as we found out, it's called that for a reason!

I won't bore you with race details, the short version is this: with all the fluffin around and a flat tyre it took us 7.45, it's got a whollodda nasty little climbs in it, I had a shit start to the day, came alright (took a package of painkillers though...) and bonked again 30k out to the finish, lesson learned, don't forget your Ensure and eateateat!!!
Even though it's a flippn long day in the saddle, it was a superstunning ride and race - tough tough tough, but wicked scenery and worth every K of pain! Go and do it!
Pic's are below, as you can see, I'm the champ at rippin pics, hope I don't get bitten in the arse for that? Anyway, if you want a photo of me or the Pornmeister, go to Studio5.co.nz....aehem....
