What's it all about then?

Me, on a bike

So #Crankworx is coming to my side of the world, me being in Australia and #Crankworx being held in NZ. On a drunken adventure I decided to enter it to see what happens and by how much I will get may as handed to me by the pros. I watched it all go down in Whistler last year only to be very very jealous.

What is the enduro world series, well it's a race against the clock where there is a time limit to complete all the chosen trails on which your times are added together, but at the same time you have to get to the start of the trail under your own steam and get there for your starting time, these are called liaison stages.

I'm sitting here on a rainy afternoon with Rum in hand deciding how to train for this event.
I guess this blog will be my recording of such takings. I've heard talk of this thing called planking I might google that to see what it is. I will be riding bikes most of the time for ultimate #enduro fitness.

My weapons of choice are
