Thinking Mrs Munk and I might head over for the AW game on the 20th, then head down to CHCH for some tank driving related activity
That looks awesome (what is happening to me?)
Me and Fort watched an episode of 'Greatest Tank Battles' last night which was fascinating...
You want to join us? I think Mrs Munk is close to booking airfares
:( unfortunately monies not great, going up to Napier and then Fort is doing the 320km about Taupo again in Nov so that's our holiday budget for this year....definitely jealous
Oh is Fort doing the 320km about Taupo again?
I fear the 320.
Yes I probably will but it's not something you just say you are going to do, it takes preparation and some major commitment. I am in far worst shape this time around.
It destroys your basic love of cycling for about 10 weeks afterwards as the last thing you want to look at or ride is a bike. It killed the rest of my summer after November as I'm not a major fitness freak and I just wanted to sit around and drink beer. I was not part of a team or group and it is difficult if you don't have that structure.
160km is a piece of cake. anyone who has ridden about 80km in one go can do it.
I think it's harder this time as I've already done it if that makes sense.
The 320km is something else.
Taupo is a little hilly.
The preparation is silly. Long friggin rides up to taihapepe and the foxton straight. Long distance cycling is not pleasant in this neck of the woods.
I watched so many folk fall apart just on the 160km. I've got to stop offering a helping hand when folk are messed up you have to be a bit ruthless which I struggle with.
grr I dunno.
This season I just wanted to grab the Surly and head off and play on those hills past Wanganui. Camp out and do that.
