Latest News - Jan/Feb

January has come and gone....sun-rain-sun-rain-sun....well, something like that!  We had to cancel a few adventures....but have gone ahead with some really good ones too...
 NOOSA TRAIL TO KIN KIN...
Our ride out around Kin Kin on the Noosa Trail Network, recently, was definitely a highlight! We set off from Pomona on the beautiful Trail 5 - our favourite, I think...and had a lovely ride out to Cooran and then the big climb up the western ridge that overlooks Kin Kin.  Our route was all ride-able....and we found a couple of new trails in the process.. At Kin Kin we were lucky enough to strike the local market in progress so grabbed some refreshments there before taking off for the climb up to Cootharaba Views....

 it was a perfect day and we could see for miles......so we sat and enjoyed the ambiance before continuing along the ridgeline (up, up and more up).. We finally got to the downhill ride and it was over all too fast....except for one of us (that would be Aunty Jan) who opted to continue on the down and meet the others on Louis Bazzo Drive.  So....the five more hills promised by Aunty Kim turned out to be about 25.....but we finally rolled into Pomona and enjoyed a very well deserved 'breakfast' at the quirky Mountain Stop Cafe.... Just another great day in our hinterland paradise....!!
UPSIDE-DOWN ROGAINE...
The first rogaine of the season was held on 11th and 12th February and Aunty Kim and Gary from Team MD's raced alongside Robbie & Schosshy from Team SCAR to take out the event in very convincing style.  They are having a fair bit of trouble walking down stairs this week...but hey, it was worth it, I'm sure!  They almost cleared the 8 hour course (which started at 11.00pm Saturday and finished at 7.00am Sunday) but came in a whopping 280 points ahead of 2nd place!  These guys are racing together at the Godzone Adventure race in NZ in a couple of months.....so they are looking like quite a cohesive team at this point....

AND FINALLY....
We have been having some real fun on our Monday night 'adventure' rides.... These rides are guaranteed to be out of the square....Here are some pics of the places we go....

Look what we found!
