Free wifi @ HK airport, couldn't get the same from my free optus iPhone wifi @ bne.
 
Premium economy with Air NZ has been worth every cent so far.

Insomnia 24hr MTB results are out. Thx 2 @mtb_antz for keeping the team spirit alive @ 8pm when I wanted out

See Alantz results for our times (including casual 7hr rest period ... soft).

Details results contains ... err detailed results of the full shebang.

Some great efforts put in by all the punters to complete this event, it was all in all pretty yucky.

Word has it that Geocentric are not doing any more MTB events, bit of a shame because they do a good job, with or without the weather being on their side. 

Hopefully another promoter will pick up the baton & make some peace with the rain gods.

Team AlAntz all done at 31 laps & what should be 2nd in category.

2 more laps in the bag, back under 30 mins/lap.

Track is no better but it is easier to commit when you can see.
 
Had a good dice with Spence on last lap, pipped him at the post :-)
 
Looks like we are comfortable 2nd, team ayup is about 50 laps ahead.

Rock n roll, @mtb_antz is heading out for part 2

2 more laps to make 11 for me & 21 for team.

Bunking down to earn some energy & push on for the last 6 hours in daylight & hopefully warmth. Hoping for a dry track would be pointless.

New front pads & rear wheel swap for me. @mtb_antz just broke a chain.

Happy days :-)

New lightweight race cog from Niner

To be fair it is not brand new & conditions are pretty aweful.
