    Thought this might raise a smile. This w/e is the 25th running of the Karapoti classic race north of Wellington. Its a course that chews even the most finely honed athletes amongst us – anything can happen. Rugged is not the word for it.
    Anyway every year we race for the coveted Pink Pinny delightfully pictured below

    This description shamelessly copied from Spoke magazine "What is the Pink Apron you ask? Well Trevor and his gang like to ride their bikes fast, they also like very good beer. If you look hard enough at the Karapoti each year you can find them and their keg. If you’re in the gang (invite only) and post the slowest time, you wear the infamous Pink Apron and transform into the Beer Bitch for the rest of the night serving everyone else. Times like 3.18 and 3.20 almost certainly will get you in the apron, and as you can see from Samara Sheppard’s last attempt, flatties don’t help your cause. So if you see someone at the Karapoti next week sporting a Pink Apron, ask them for a refill, they won’t refuse."
    Should be another night of giggles and hard out racing. To put it into perspective clearing the 3hr mark is quite an achievement (the real rock stars can knock it out in 2:20 which is insane). But the 3hr mark is benchmark so being the B1itch on a 3:15 is a hard call ! And I start in the first class as well being < 40 unlike the other old gits !. I might need to put some wing mirrors on the Tallboy 🙂
