The Forrest 6 Hour was ridden in a mixed pairs - team Recreation Not Procreation hit the trails again, but in a pretty casual way. I'd been at uni all week and overall very unfit - Evan had the 'flu all week. It rained for the first hour - Evan best not riding in the rain - me a case of the can't be stuffed. Evan eventually headed out for 3 laps. I did 3 laps. But the ride was only part of the really awesome day.
The dogs were at the race and had a great time. Buzzy socialised and was open to pats and attention. Beep said hello to a select few and wanted to rip the face of two other dogs. But overall they were so well behaved. The photo (still to come) is pretty much a reflection of the day...the spare chair was where I was sitting, Beep in the other chair, Buzz and Evan in the crate. It was so nice to be able to show off my well-behaved babies.
Tory Thomas and Tim Retchford (with occasional visits from Hamish) shared our tent, not that Tory was in the tent for long having done the event as a solo. But the laughs were good and it was great to see mum Tory working it like she always does. My inspiration.
Back to Creswick for another week of uni, and I found a few mtb friends in my Bushfire Planning & Management subject. A 1.5hr ride after lectures was a great way blow off the days learnings before heading back for more homework at night. Thanks to my new friends.
