Rainbow Rage 2010

Here I am at the start of the Rainbow Rage wondering if I am a little crazy to be started on a 106km mountain bike race. We had set off from Blenheim at 6am to make the start of the race near the Nelson Lakes. It was a bit windy and cool and I was a little worried about riding into a head wind for the entire race. Fortunately, it was a tail wind for the vast majority of the race.
Finishing the race 5 hours and 10 minutes later in Hanmer Springs, I was a little tired and sore but happy to have finished!
