Jacks Pass

Given that I hadn't ridden by bike in anger (aggressively) for some time now, D and I decided to head out early and recce the race course again.

After a big ride the day before, a sort of late night, and 3 or 4 wines, I probably wasn't in the best shape. But it was great to be out and we rocked up and down some of the sections - 55kph down Jollies on loose shingle and mud - thank god for disk brakes!

1.20 hours for the 25 km wasn't too bad, and then back home to pack the cars and get ready to head home. The kids of course needed some activity, so crazy golf came first, then lunch, the hot pools. A deal was done and the mums took the kids to gold, while the dads sat at a local cafe outside sipping lattes and reading MTB mags, then we swapped the dads and kids went swimming.

It mostly worked perfectly, and we had 4 very tired children. School tomorrow for the kids with the new term starting, hope they get a good sleep and aren't too grumpy ;-)
