Golden Triangle Epic 50km Race

Roz and I agreed that we would 'ride' the 50km option of the Golden Triangle Epic race.  Being in our backyard we would have been pretty silly to not enter, though neither of us were in any form to actually race the event.  As it turned out, Shelley McColl ended up another great chick to ride with.

In line with our fun approach to the event, it was only fitting that we don the 'flanny jersey' (or Lumberjane as Sugoi call it) ready for laughs and fun comments.  And in true form hairdresser Roz came through with matching colour for our hair!  We were certainly catching everyone's eye, if not in the normal manner that you gain notoriety at a race.

We rode at trail ride pace and had the most awesome day.  We talked for 4 hours pretty much non-stop, which I'm pretty sure is a record for Roz and myself.  But what a great day....laughs, catching up with Shelley, a bit of dribble towards the end, and even a song yelled out loud to get us through the last 5km.  Mind you that last 5km we actually started to drop other riders, so I'm not sure if it was our increased flow and momentum with singing and laughing about it, or if they couldn't stand our singing.  Either way we ended up in great spirits.

Thanks heaps Roz and Shelley - I look forward to doing it next year again.

Roz and myself at the end of 50km - still lots of smiles
