ScaredyCat....... Endurance Bike Rider: December 2012
http://scaredycatthebikerider.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
ScaredyCat. Endurance Bike Rider. Event and Rides Slideshow. Thursday, 13 December 2012. Amazing how time just sneaks past. One day I had plenty of time to prepare for the Scott 24 hr and associated travelling, the next day it was time to pack up and go! As usual I totally over-packed, with plenty of ‘just-in-case’ clothing and other items! I had a pile of lists to tick off and was still panicking about what I might have forgotten! The next day was cold, but fine. Time to get out and attack both laps!

ScaredyCat....... Endurance Bike Rider: May 2012

ScaredyCat. Endurance Bike Rider. Event and Rides Slideshow. Thursday, 24 May 2012. Moonride 2012. a long and muddy day at the office. I still had plenty of time to get myself organised at a relaxed pace. I got the chance to catch up with the second member of my crew, the amazing Charlotte – awesome endurance cyclist and good friend. I headed out for a lap of the course to see what I was in for – it was a little damp, but nothing that I thought would cause problems (ha – little did I know! I’d miss...

ScaredyCat....... Endurance Bike Rider: Pukeora and Monsters
http://scaredycatthebikerider.blogspot.com/2012/06/pukeora-and-monsters.html
ScaredyCat. Endurance Bike Rider. Event and Rides Slideshow. Sunday, 10 June 2012. I dragged myself out of bed in the middle of the night (aka 5.00am) to head out to the 4 hour race at Pukeora. We were too early for the coffee cart at Otaki, so ended up with a spectacularly average brew from Wild Bean instead. Being up at that hour does have its rewards, though, as we got to watch a magnificent sunrise climbing through the Hawkes Bay fog. It was it this point that I was joined by two of the ‘scared...

ScaredyCat....... Endurance Bike Rider: A Weekend of Opposites
http://scaredycatthebikerider.blogspot.com/2012/08/a-weekend-of-opposites.html
ScaredyCat. Endurance Bike Rider. Event and Rides Slideshow. Friday, 17 August 2012. A Weekend of Opposites. Saturday – There was a strange glow in the sky, which I eventually recognised as the sun! After a week of heavy rain the weather gods had decided to grant an early preview of spring. but my program called for a night ride! Eventually I decided on compromise, so headed out along the coastal trail at QE park. Towards Raumati at around 4. Yep, still raining! Oh, well – a good opportunity to tes...

ScaredyCat....... Endurance Bike Rider: Santoft Sizzler
http://scaredycatthebikerider.blogspot.com/2012/08/santoft-sizzler.html
ScaredyCat. Endurance Bike Rider. Event and Rides Slideshow. Wednesday, 15 August 2012. Leading up to race day I was a little apprehensive – although the Santoft course isn’t really technical (and unlikely to have wheel-grabbing alligators hiding in the sand) I was worried about how I’d go and. Whether I would let myself down. After my last not-great outing at Pukeora. First good point of the day was the weather – not raining! Even better, the track was pretty much dry. I also got to watch the Female Sol...

ScaredyCat....... Endurance Bike Rider: March 2013
http://scaredycatthebikerider.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
ScaredyCat. Endurance Bike Rider. Event and Rides Slideshow. Thursday, 21 March 2013. Highlander. lots of words, not enough pictures! Time for another weekend road trip to the 80km “Highlander” mtb marathon. With the cancellation of the Moonride in February I felt the need for some ‘event practice’ to try and get my brain used to being in ‘event mode’ – and a really good excuse to spend the weekend riding in Rotorua! I didn’t have a great start to the weekend,. Saturday was a totally different experience.
