Dave gets In a team photo

[Drudge] Nice ride, Petone, round Pencarrow, lap round the lakes and back via Wainui MTB park and the Pie Shop. They only had to wait for me a little bit (!) at the top of the hill.

Another magic adventure

I think the training is actually one of the best bits of our XPD adventures. This year has been no exception, we have seen some interesting parts of the Tararuas that is for sure. Tasmania was always going to be a real pull this year and it being the World Champs means we will, errr, get the chance to spend at least the first 10 minutes of the race with the big boys. Should be a lot of fun.

Team Bridgedale Socks NZ hit the snow

Well, after an exhausting search for quality sponsors, and with the help
of NZ distributor Ampro, securify.co.nz has rebranded as Team Bridgedale
Socks NZ. We are really happy about it and so are our feet (we've all
been wearing Bridgedale socks for years, including the last 2 XPD
adventures). To celebrate we had a little training outing from Jill's
place in Petone, cycling up to Tunnel Gully and then walking up Mt
Climie to enjoy the snow. Not that we think Tasmania will be that cold,
but after Threbo we just like to be prepared for all conditions.

We are: Jill Westenra, Colin Slater, Dave Rudge and Jerome Sheppard
(and for the next 10 weeks to be addressed as Queenie, Percy, Nursey and
Baldrick)

[DR] I wasn't in country when I was named Nursey - I hate my team! AND I
am not in the photo.
