A change is... like a holiday!

So it has been a little quiet here in recent time, probably because there has not been much bike action! Lots of other things doing however!

There was a week off the bike, then a couple of weeks with some easy kilometres, which started well and then went a bit pear-shaped and my motivation to get on a bike got up and left me! In a nutshell a bit of "I just couldn't be bothered"! But don't worry, I'm over that bit now!

The change that I needed came in the form of my mountain bike. I really do love the dirt! I am not the greatest mountain biker, I am pretty strong from all my other training, but I am not so good when it gets technical on the way downhill-not that I let that stop me! Anyway, back to the point, after cutting a lap of Sparrow's Hill track (home of the 2009 Mont 24hr MTB event) on Saturday afternoon and a lap of Stromlo on Sunday (home of the World Cup round the weekend before and various other events), I found the drive to get back on the road and get my km's done! So, it is true what they say about a change!!

And, despite there being not much bike action happening recently, there was plenty of things going on around our house. My mum came to visit which was very nice, especially since I hadn't seen her properly since Christmas. Emma also came to visit and ther was lots of wedding organising achieved, including my dress and one for the bridesmaid (Emma) and my mum! In fact most of the big things are organised for that, so I can sit back and relax on my bike!

Now you know why there hasn't been much posted here! Km's start again on Tuesday, which means that track season is getting closer, and I can't wait!!

Until next time, thanks for reading and have a good day :)
