Yep, I've been living the quiet life lately while I continue to recover from the impact of one (or two or three) too many crashes that left me pretty messed up and unable to train and race since August last year.  Life on the bikes now, when I get out on them, is all about fun - and often about training Moose up to be a great bike-dog.  The last thing I did before picking him up back in January was ride at Makara with the girls:

Saturday just been was his first 'ride with the girls', also at Makara.

He goes pretty fast for a little dog, and he's still getting faster.  He's a great way to spend time now every spare minute isn't spent on or about the bikes, but even better he can be a part of it too!

Another thing keeping me busy is a bit of coaching.  I currently have Emma - an XC U23 rider, Charlotte - an endurance specialist, and Ken - the crazy CX'er.  With three such different disciplines, not to mention personalities (!) I am constantly challenged and absolutely loving it.  It's a real privilege to coach and I was lucky enough to have such a fine example in Robyn that it keeps me motivated to ensure my riders are getting the best out of me and themselves.

I've got a few adventures planned over the next couple of months and I'll be keeping one or other of the cameras handy at all times so hope to have some more footage to post in future.
