Race 15 of 28
Its almost here, you can hear all the all the shops cash registers going cha ching as you line up and pass over your credit card. But what a cracking day we had down at Twinnies on Saturday, very noice conditions. Its seems a few may have been nursing sore heads or catching up on some well earned sleep as numbers were down a bit.
Santa arrived to hand out some pressies to the kids, and some of the adults may get a little pressie next week, we are hoping that the uniform order will arrive in a red sack.
Next week we break from tradition with our 2nd Teams Event –to be held, how this will work is every one wishing to compete will take a number and then find the other two team mates with the same number. Then, between you, you will decide who does which discipline. To spice it up a bit each of the legs/disciples may be extended??????. Prizes awarded to best fancy dressed
So what do you need to bring, if you’re keen bring you helmet, googles and runners
This will be followed by a health breakfast
Dr Bike – Paul Woodger spoke today on maintenance of your brakes, pads and cables. Generally the front pads will wear quicker, to check the condition there is a groove across the centre of the pad and if you can’t see this its time to change the pads. If you handle comes close to the bar, that’s an indication of the cable stretching.
Tri Coach Des- spoke about the benefit of riding mountain bikes, generally a safe bike and a valuable training tool.
