In 2 days time the heart rate will be up, up and away yet again in what is a cracker of a test of ones mettle. 999 others munters and I will tackle the 100km's of extremely varied terrain of this Otway race and another 750 riders covering shorter distance versions. With a strong drive to perform better than 51st place last year and this year cracking into the 40 - 49yr old bracket, my expectations are high, even though I've probably been training less than last year but we'll just have to see ay.
Deano Bravo is back and has a date with the monster that is the Odyssey after crashing out last year on an extremely slippy descent. Gez has been training hard (lots o secret miles working for Worldtrail me thinks) and has put out the challenge to smash the Kellett lads, good luck with that.
Weather should be spot on, low 20s and possible morning showers. I reckon the winning elite time's gunna be &*%k'n quick, under 5hours me thinks and I just can't see anyone beating Jongers for the honour (and $$$), he's is a robot you know.
Lots to organise still.
Preparation is paramount.
All the best to all competitors.
Look out nemisis (you know who you are)
Ah Bretto you sick twisted freak, have you ever thought about just sitting on your butt for an hour or two, worth a try, apparently quite enjoyable. will send a pic from early days as a reminder.
