I knew that the BHE Marathon was tough! I 'borrowed' this altitude map from Grover (thanks mate!) to show exactly how much climbing there was early one!!

So this weekend is shaping up to be a great weekend out at Lysterfield. All the boys are psyched about the course, it should be a great riders course and fun to ride the whole way through. The best bit is that we can even get friends and family to make the short journey out to say G'day, instead of a 6 hour drive to see us rip past once an hour.. ! Should be good fun, although missing the Harden Up Epic @ Buller is a bit of a shame. Still, the sun should shine (said so in the brochure) at Chase the Sun, and we'll all be happy campers, AND we can drive home in 30min after the race!! :)

Tonight will see most of the boys out at the Fatties Ride @ Ivanhoe/Yarra trails, sorting out our legs, and hopefully seeing the hard 24hour boys getting their final bike practice in before the Nationals on the weekend, or maybe they're banking some sleep for the big one! Good luck boys!!
