UUHOLO blog: Wild Wellington Mountain Bike Relay

Shortly after our return from South America Jana had working weekend and I was thinking what to do. Choosing between one day volleybal tournament in Palmerston (2hrs drive from here) or bike race in Wellington, and you can guess what I've finally decided for.

Wild Wellington Mountain Bike Relay [http://www.wildwellington.co.nz/site/wild_wellington_relay/] is MTB relay race on hilly circuit in Wellington park, that goes even for 6 or 12 hours. We went for the 12 hrs option, staring at 10am and finishing just at 10pm, so the last rides were with lights at night. There was eight of us so we formed two teams of four and because none of our employers was willing to support us, we accepted kind offer from children charity [www.savethechildren.org.nz] and we represented them in their red shirts ...

Results were not bad, we didn't finished in the very bottom, but most of all it was great fun ;)

Kratce po tom co jsme se vratili z Jizni Ameriky Janca mela pracovni vikend and ja jesm premyslel co budu delat ja. Mel jsem na vyber mezi jednodennim volejbalovym turnajem v Palmerston North (2 hodiny autem odsud) anebo zavod na horskych kolech, tak muzete hadat pro co jsem se rozhodl.

Wild Wellington Mountain Bike Relay [http://www.wildwellington.co.nz/site/wild_wellington_relay/] je stafetovy zavod horskych kol na kopcovatem okruhu ve Wellingtonskem parku, ktery se jede 5 nebo 12 hodin. Vybrali jsme si 12-ti hodinovou variantu, ktera startovala v 10 rano a koncila v 10 vecer, takze poslednich par kol se jelo se svetly v noci. Bylo nas osm, tak jsme zformovali 2 tymy po ctyrech a protoze zadny z nasich zamestnavatelu nebyl ochoten nas podporit, prijali jsme nabidku detske charity [www.savethechildren.org.nz] a tak jsme v cervenych trickach reprezentovali je...

Vysledky nebyly nejhorsi, skoncili jsme dostatecne daleko od konce tabulky, ale hlavne to byla docela dobra zabava ;)
