Upcoming winter events..

As we get into the colder, darker days and nights in the depths of winter, I begin to ponder how much riding I will actually do. So, nothing like a few events to keep the motivation up!

Here's a few that I'm eyeing up over the next few months:

I hear it's long, and it's muddy. The former probably suiting me more than the latter, but I suppose there's only one way to learn how to ride in the mud and that's to do it more often! I'm apprehensively looking forward to this next weekend!

I've never ridden in Invercargill before, let alone on sand (which I presume Sandy Point is primarily made up of!). Races on the first Sunday of each month until October. I hope to get to at least three of these to be up for series points.

Another event from the Southerners. Eight hours? Sure.. sounds like a solo challenge to me! Yet to be decided whether I'll be on the normal bike (Superlight) or the singlespeed.

If anyone knows of other events that could be up my alley, please feel free to drop me a line at psychavoc@gmail.com.
