FEBRUARY
Starting with an AR clinic, February was going to be a busy month. A twin-peaks adventure followed, then the Upside Down rogaine (starting at mid-night) . The next weekend we rode out along the Western Ridge of the Kin Kin valley and took a climb up Mt Boulder.
MARCH
The Mini-Rogue (6 hours, so not really 'mini') was first up. Lots of Tri Adventure teams there. Gina & I had our first win together :) Then the races were coming thick and fast - The Kick-off, Kathmandu, and the 6 hour rogaine....It was a very busy month of racing!
APRIL
Kim and MDs went off to compete in the Wenzhou Outdoor Quest in China then we all raced at the Rogue 24hr adventuregaine.....It was an awesome event put on by Liam St Pierre.
MAY
Once again races on nearly every weekend. The Step-up brought back some of the old AR disciplines like 'ride and tie'.....and rally notes....it was a brilliant event put on bike Gary at Ridegline! The 8 hour rogaine in Gatton was in there somewhere as well...
JUNE
June is Geoquest month.....and it was another great event staged at the beautiful Crescent Head. MDs placed 4th overall with some hot competition from local and international teams. The Cowgirls were on fire and we had such a great crew as well....

AUGUST
The annual Cyclgaine was in the Glasshouse Mountains. It was the wettest day I can remember. We rode for 6 hours in the pouring rain.....if it wasn't for event we would have spent all day indoors I'm sure. Great day out and great results for Tri Adventure! We also made the trip to the Straddie Salute, an off-road triathlon on Nth Stradbroke Island. It was another fantastic weekend.....and Kim brought home the whale trophy!

Hells Bells lived up to it's name......and we all enjoyed this challenging event put on by Sloshy and Gary. Kim & Leo came home with the win....out-racing some slick all-male teams from interstate! We also went out to the Epic after a 10 year hiatus.....and had an awesome weekend camping, riding and trail running :)

We zipped across the ditch to NZ and raced the Kawerau King of the Mountain. Kim placed 2nd to a younger, faster Kiwi girl......we all had a lovely time hosted by the country people of Kawerau.
DECEMBER
Road trip to Victoria for Lorne Adventurefest and X-Marathon. Also a sideline up to Mt Buller to ride the new Alpine Epic Trail. It was a lovely few weeks racing, hiking, riding and adventuring! We finished off the year just how we started it....with an amazing Mtb/Trek in the Point Glorious area. A lovely day out with 12 of our Tri Adventure friends :)
