I would have liked to go but I have committed to doing something else that weekend (visit my sister in Blackball). Will have to come and play on my bike in Hanmer on my own another weekend. I'm going to Michael Wood's mountain biking this weekend in Wellington - if you haven't tried mbo you should it's really fun. For me anyway it spurs me to do more daring things then I ever would on a normal ride. Hopefully I won't have a broken leg next week...
