You misspelled ‘pink dots’

I'm an OG Alex track rider, pink dots were not a common thing when i rode there.

Might be fine for OG and locals, but they saved my life repeatedly....

Are you gents getting a little misty eyed at the photos hitting the socials for this years Trans NZ? It beats the fuck out of what I am doing this week.

FB just keeps reminding me what I’m missing

There would be some nasty roots in Skyline in the wet

It would be mental, not envious at all.

Indeed. It’s been killing me until now.
Suddenly I feel better.

Sloshing through mud, soaked to the skin, the pitter patter of falling rain on your wet gear whilst you just try to keep the bike upright.

Will change standings, some people thrive in the shit conditions, usually the pommes, Scots and Irish... though Sam Hill

I hum/whistle this tune still when riding in the mud.

Was a Kiwi only event due to Covid, wasn’t it? Advantage locals.

Bit better training week for both distance and elevation.

A week for 4k el ain't hanging about - impressive!

Yeah, was happy with that. Another 1000 tomorrow if all goes to plan.

Had to race the rain today to squeeze in a second quick ride this morning....purely to hit the 4000m climbing

You're smashing it @moorey, well impressed. My discipline has not been so great, the dark mornings have sapped my dedication to keeping up the roadie miles.

Yeah, I struggle with the mornings under lights these days. I usually don’t have a Skype until 9.30, so I drop the kids off at 8 and smash an hour out up the mountain pretty much every morning on top of my other rides. They aren’t long, but definitely helping.

 

[moorey]

Thought I’d be down in the stats this week with a DH race this weekend....but with 60-90 minutes wait for a shuttle, I did 4 ride ups FTW.

 

[moorey]

We all still on board? @wozza is a cripple, and has had to pull the pin.
@Boom King, Felix and I rebooked our flights last night.

 

[leitch]

I pulled the pin in the end @moorey. Timing is shitty with work after Christmas travel etc and was just getting messy. Will put the $$ to riding in the Dolomites in July instead
