Training Update

Not much to report this week. Learned the lesson that if you dig too deep you take one step forward and three steps back. Not that I needed to learn this.

A very hard ride on Wednesday left me flat for three days.

Good luck to Tom Hubbard off to the Tour of Canberra as part of the NZ U19 Cycling Team. His first stint in the NZ Jersey. Brooke Williams and Will Bowman are lining up in the South Island Secondary Schools Champs this coming weekend. They both face stiff competition in their grades in both the Time Trial and Road Race. Will also rides the Teams Time Trial.
