Quail Island ...

... under a burning sky.

Well actually it wasn't really burning, just dull and overcast, so I burned it out. This where Adam I had yesterday's school trip.

Today however was work catch-up, and oh so much to do. Meetings, client discussions, and a revamp of how we present he business. All good stuff.

And then I sneaked away early at 4 and looped up thru the Port Hills on the way home. Yep, another quick training ride, same loop as yesterday, up Raupaki, single track, and home. Only around 17K, but a good slog uphill.

Overall, I'm feeling cautiously optimistic about the race next week. It's 80km and quite hilly so it will be very much a case of pacing yourself. Here's hoping the weather is OK ...
