It's less than two weeks now until I'm going to take to a start line again for the 3rd round of the North Island Cup series in Rotorua.  I'm excited because there is a return this year to the course that was used in 2007 - a course I really enjoy where the climbs aren't too long or steep, and the trails are uniquely Rotorua, ie - awesome!

The best thing lately is that summer has finally arrived!  It was a long wait but it's been amazing getting out in some really hot weather - hot enough to average 29 and 30 degrees on some rides recently! 

Primarily the last few weeks have been a return to base/volume riding - much needed after so many injuries, and as a result I do notice where I'm at in my training when I get out on the dirt, but it's all part of a long term plan.   As I head towards some events I'm starting to see more dirt in my training and it's just awesome.  I still find the Felt a bit of a novelty and love the feel of carbon hardtail.  Hard to believe, but I'm a total convert.

It's still a few weeks before I can publicly announce the major plans I have for later this year but rest assured they are coming along very nicely.

In the meantime, there is still HEAPS of work to be done on the bike so that's my priority and I'll check in again closer to the Rotorua race.
