Well it has been some time since my last confessional (post).  I am getting a hang of this working caper interfering with my leisure activities.  Niels and I entered into the Giant 3 Plus 3 2 day mountain bike race in July and we competed as a team, “Team Caddy”.

So I prepared the packing list and our first road test for the Little Lorry.  It all fitted in easily. 

We arrived at Hiddenvale, Grandchester, about 60km west of Brisbane in the late morning and set up our camp site.  We moved the frame that holds the bikes outside and locked them up and then set up inside using a swag king single mattress.

It was very busy as you can see.

After the camp site was set up we then did a 3 hour endurance race and because we were in a team we each did a lap and then tagged one another.  Because of our supreme fitness or lack of it we only did one lap each and then headed to the hot showers supplied.  We had ordered dinner so at 6pm we rocked up and had a lovely dinner and then enjoyed the lights.  It was Xmas in July.

It was pretty cold that night however we were cosy and slept for 12 hours.  The next day we rode for a bit longer and rode together.  The tracks out there are amazing and the Little Lorry passed it’s first test, us on the mountain bikes not so much.
