Gorillas in the Mist (with apologies to the gorillas)

Today as part of training with Nikki and Steve it was to be 5 laps of Mount Coot-tha. I say was to be as we ended up with nearly as many flat tyres as we did laps. Nikki is off next week for the Womens tour of New Zealand and was after that one last hit out. It had been raining overnight here in Brisbane so it was guite foggy and almost like riding in some of the old footage of riding in the Tour through the fog and rain.

This was the best I could with manage my dodgy camera phone sorry ;o)

And yes I was at the back collecting the tickets for the autobus. After getting the third flat for the morning and quickly running out of tubes we decided 3 laps would have to do with maybe some more this afternoon. Both Nikki and Steve are riding strongly and its great to see the hard work they have put in really starting to pay off. Once Nikki realises how strong she is the world will be her oyster.
