It's all over

On Wednesday 20th June at 5:40pm we landed at Invercargill airport, ending our mountain biking adventure. The jetlag is slowly wearing off and we're adapting back to the Southland winter. Still haven't got back on the bike though.

We must thank those that helped out during the trip. First of all Cherie and Wendy for looking after Patrice and Aimee. Without their help Nicki and I wouldn't have been able to get away together and its great to know that the girls were so happy while we were away. I don't know if we should read too much in to this. Secondly we must thank Martin, Fraser and Spook and the rest of the No Fuss team that made our stay in Fort William so enjoyable. Hopefully we get a chance to repay the hospitality next year. Next is Michelle H, our pitcrew, who helped out on race day and then gave us a guided tour across Scotland to Edinburgh only to spend a night on a deflated airbed in her own flat.

Thanks also to those that helped out with gear and support for the trip. Namely Iconic Adventures, the Mataura Licensing Trust, Sport Southland, Cycling Southland, Cycle Surgery, Southland Building Society, Krank Dirtwear, Torpedo7 and Laker House of Travel.

Entries for the Motatapu Icebreaker open up next month and Iconic Adventures are also starting promotion for the First Flight race around Otago Peninsula and of course the 2008 Moonshine Trail race. So its looks like it'll be back on the bike and more training coming up. Should be good.

Thanks for visiting the blogg and keep in touch.

Regards

David & Nicki
