Cheers Jim – I’ll give you a shout.

How was Ben Alder? What about the new bike?

Yeah ben alder was good, sun was beating down on the “hike a bike” section, then it pissed with rain all the way back!! only 5 punctures, so not to bad, cracking decent, bike was really good, kept the conti race kings on and they were actually quite good.

Vit C post I did earlier.. looked at info about Vit C and found that it does help with strenuous excercise – lack of energy – so I assume I accidently found the answer to my own hydration problems as stated earlier.

“The need for vitamin C will dramatically increase in times when the body is subjected to trauma, infections, and strenuous exercise, elevated environmental temperatures or if the person is a smoker.”

Nice unbiased source there

only 5 punctures

Good work!
