so, i am sick again.  well the whole family is sick and there are stacks of people at work sick as well.  funny how while there were no races on, i am fine, and then when there are a couple i want to do, i get sick.  the pinjarra classic is my favourite race on the calendar as the course is a bit testing and then i wanted to follow this up with the state champs.  i have entered for pinjarra, but i guess i will be playing it by ear come sunday morning. 

so i had mon & tues off this week (sick) went back on wed and home again by thurs.  hence why the ride routes are coming out so early this week.  tomorrow…we will have to see.  saturday is looking doubtful.  racing sunday seems to be a dream.

200km challenge –a very successful day and it gave us a few good insights on how we needed to run a challenge like this.  it was a “test event” but i think that the response was such that we may run something like this a couple of times a year.

races – the pinjarra classic is on sunday and we have a few riders heading down for it.  one of the more challenging races on the calender but a good warm-up for the state champs in a few weeks time.

ride routes – apparently it has been three weeks in a row since the development group has had any riders.  i guess the cold weather has stopped any new people coming out to play.  luckily this gives carol a bit of extra training by heading out with the transitional group.  this week, however, we have no leader for the transitional group as mark is away and i am looking doubtful.  if anyone want to step up, it would be appreciated.
