After determining that Al's glasses were in fact missing we decided that we might roll down the Snakecharmer to Missing Link, the place we'd experience again the way we came to look for them. After all of the excitement of the racing, Bo and that i drove back to town the place I dropped him back at house and finally bought to get to my Commençal build! I decided that Koru and Lazy Fern would be the gig, because the trees keep you completely out of the wind, baby bottle so I put the bike on the back of the wagon and set off for Makara Peak. I hit Lazy Fern feeling completely at one with my bike, relieved that I felt nice on the bike for the first time in weeks, and fizzing to open up the throttle a bit. Despite weighing only a hair lower than the GT (13.76kg/30.33lb) it felt a lot lighter - it felt like I was riding my road bike as compared.

I just had to hurry up the rebound a tad and it was unbelievable how well it rode and the way at house I already felt. The additional time spent is nicely worth it though for a durable and professional build. We received to the summit in time to meet up with John's lovely parents and watch him comfortably roll over maintaining the entrance of his bunch in sight with out wasting helpful energy. Corners that have monged me out for years have been traversed (comparatively) elegantly as I realised that I used to be feeling no effects of my concussion for the primary time in weeks. Bodhi and that i left her there to sell her wares then went and did some buying and had some lunch in an inexpensive cafe before driving out to Eastbourne to observe the start of the first ever Eastbourne-Wainuiomata PNP race. He is immensely powerful however after a disastrous (by his excessive standards) earlier race he has rapidly learned that the techniques and energy demands of scratch highway racing demand a unique mindset than handicap racing. John went on to complete a positive second after riding most likely his most interesting tactical race but.

My man John Randal was starting in B Grade, and that i had many other associates racing in the varied grades. I rolled down to the carpark to settle in and wait for Alex to finish his search, the place I chatted to some mates heading out for their own trip - correctly avoiding the summit although! I was enjoying the bike a lot our unique plan of just doing Ridgeline Extension was bypassed by the desire to just carry on riding, so we decided to head down Missing Link and up Aratihi to the summit - so much for protecting out of the wind! It is not the the GT was a foul bike - far from it - but the trendy design and superbly thought out crafting of the Commençal is so significantly better. Saturday morning dawned lovely and my brand spanking new 2008 Commençal Meta 5.5 frame was sitting there glistening within the spring sunshine, however I had other issues to do before I might get to grips with constructing it up. Al led the best way down ML as I tried to really feel out the totally different journey of the Commençal on a downhill stretch. First, I needed to drag my venerable GT out and strip it down.

I woke on Sunday to the primary actual spring nor-wester of the season - the wind was howling, placing paid to my initial plan of just riding out the door and heading up Mt Albert and Mt Vic. However, the bouncing up and down the street test proved that already I was coping with a completely completely different beast to the GT - I used to be excited about the prospect of giving her a real blast! I zoomed down this stunning path by means of native bush and ponga fronds feeling the elation that only a real endorphin rush can present. We hit the junction of ML and SA and slowly rode the mistaken means down the trail scanning furiously for the errant shades. After trundling up Koru we rode Sally Alley to check out the work the Makara Peak Supporters had put into it final weekend - superior! After being almost blown off the track once, I really did get blown off on one of many final corners earlier than the highest. After meeting a few slightly startled people riding up the best manner I parted methods with Alex as SA changed into Koru, deciding that it was better if there was only one in all us going the mistaken way on uphill designated tracks.
