The Beginning

When I was a little girl I called myself "Dinney" and I had a little hat I liked to wear which I called "Dinney's Aat".

Having been back from our 4 months in Germany for just over a month it is now seriously time I got into training for what I would like to do over summer.  I have put my name down to do the Mountain to Sea cycle ride starting at Mt Cook.  The first day is 85km so will have to get fit for that.

Changed the pedals on my bike so don't have clip ons anymore and 2 weekends ago cycled up the head of the Turitea over part of the Dam Block.  Took Shilah with me as I figured I would be pretty slow going up the hill.  Last Sunday Royce and I cycled round Palmy - I cycled from home so it was about 35km.  Bum felt it a bit and could feel left knee a little, but otherwise all good.

The tramp last Thursday was up the Makairo Track, 15.5km  up to the saddle and back again.
