Only 3 days to Go









I'm just not sure if I'll be able to survive Spooks 4 days off. I managed to sneak another tea in bed as he had to get up and return the jeep to his workmate, so that was a bonus. But then he dragged me up Mt Roy at a limb screaming rate, followed by a limb screaming descent. I was thinking I could crawl into bed early when he thought it would be lovely to go for an after dinner cycle in Sticky Woods. He described it as a Ruari Watt Paradise of hand cut narrow single track through native Kiwi Bush. I was thinking bad thoughts about Ruari Watt as I clipped in and out of my peddles, negotiating tight corners and narrow tracks with steep inclines to one side, and scooted between trees pulling my elbows in and thinking that Spook needed some more friends. I have to admit, I did feel quite good when we got back home. It really was fun.



(I have to apologise for the commercial aspect of the blog. Wee signs kept popping up telling me to make money on my blog. I was wooed by such rhetoric and finally gave in. It only works if you see very enticing subjects to explore and cant resist clicking. It would seem that rabbits and horse racing is just not grabbing you! I'm not sure what to say that will generate more exciting web sites.)



Anyhoo (as they say here, for some unknown reason), the 50km cycle is still on for tomorrow unless I kind find a friend for Spook before morning.
