After our day at
Tongariro, the five of us went to Redwoods, just outside Rotorua for
some downhill mountain biking. Scott, Lesley and Finn are really into
it, and Finn is a wee daredevil on a bike. I hadn't been on a bike
since I was a kid, so talk about jumping in at the deep end!! lol The
weather was awful. The rain was pelting it, and we were soaked to the
skin from the offset. I had trouble turning corners, which isn't
ideal on a twisting downhill mountain bike track but I gave it all a
go. I had a few falls, one was a bit dodgy, falling on the middle bar
after attempting to put both feet on the ground during a panic
emergency stop!!! Ouch :-) Stuart loved it, he was really good, and
even though it was raining, it was so much fun.
We all looked a right
state by the time we left. But oh I suffered the next day, my bum was
so sore I spent most of my time at work standing up!!
