The Hippo Ride

My last posting of a Thursday nite ride was not a very good one - The Messy Ride. Full credit to all the riders who showed last nite, for the first lap (at least) everyone was 10 times smoother. Sumo you would have been proud.

Team NZ turned up on the tandem and looked very fashionable in matching black and white, although Martina's young stoker was having a helmet issue with her pony tail. Its a common issue mate. Martina also spent the ride admiring the clear sky in front of him.

As we rolled out Ekka was giving young Fab a very technical debrief on saddles and positioning. My advice Fab, go for colour and just do more k's. Eventually you'll harden up in all the right spots!

As for me, I just want to ride slow cause I want to be a Hippo. Hey Thunder!
