Turning forty used to sound scary from a thirty year old perspective...

And before you can blink.... FORTY!!

But actually... now I am here... I am rather enjoying it!
These significant birthdays are a great time for reflection... and tend to spur me on to do something new and exciting to prove to myself that forty is kind of young!

So to celebrate... I have taken on the 'Wildside Challenge'


I have done a few mountain bike 'challenges' (not really a race from my perspective) - each one a fairly big physical and mental challenge for me at the time! So wildside is taking it a 'little' bit further - 4 days, and some amount of kilometres (errr... dont think I have exactly worked this bit out yet)

Just a little bit of training to do... I have 7 months! This is my journey....

Inspiration

Nearly a year ago, I was introduced to a local Launceston womens 'bike fit' group.

Organised by Georgina Brown of Avanti Plus... and coached by Mark Connelly of EFM gyms in Launceston

A+ EFM Riders (for Women)

This group has encouraged many local women to get out on their bikes and keep fit. 



Riding with these women has made a phenomenal impact on my training! And I have met loads of new friends. Mark may also be heavily responsible for encouraging me to enter Wildside - and making me believe that I am capable. Who needs more inspiration than that!

Much appreciation to Georgina and Mark!
