Yesterday saw the second running of the Wild Wellington 12hr mountain bike relay. The sun came out for the race after freezing rain and HAIL the previous day in Wellington.
The course winds its way in a 6km, figure 8 loop through Mt Victoria from Haitaitai in the south to Oriental Bay in the north. Lots of climbing, lots of fun singletrack and a few tricky technical bits...including one fast downhill over loose soil and tree roots.

Our team, 'Cunning Stunts' was made up of Jarlath, Esther, Toni and Pete. Our 5th rider, Barry, wasn't able to join us due to a back injury. He did a great job supporting the team from 8:30am to 10:30pm when we finally headed home.
