After 9 days of panic training I think i am as close to being ready for southland as i can be, hit it pretty hard over the weekend which blew out a few cobwebs. Took out meechy to show him the Torture loop on saturday, of course he played by the rules and only rode the big dog!, and then on sunday rode over to albany bunch. So after some ekkies each day I was pretty deep in the box sunday afternoon. So deep that my normal 60minute siesta became a 3.5hour hibernation, and that was backed up by another 9 hours that night....good bye cobwebs.
My team sounds mint though for the tour, I'm riding for the Winton Middle pub team which from all accounts sounds like they are great hosts. Our manager is Paul Dahl and between him and the pub they have really hooked us up so everywhere there is a stage finish we have a place to go and keep warm/shower/eat/sleep, even on the split stages so there will be no excuses.
The team is also getting the hookups from Kia Motors and Maxxis tyres so thats pretty sweet.
I fly down on sat morning so between now and then its a case of resting and staying upright. My hip is still quite swollen but all my bandages are off except for the hip so feeling a little be more mobile.
