Yeah, I've ridden the Mt. Wellington Challenge (time trial) a few times and it happens in March. Often have to pack a number of layers for the descent. One year we rode up to a cloud covered summit with a few inches of snow either side of the road and a gusty westerly. It was a painful descent that year!No, not yet. A few more months.
It’s a great ride - either on the mountain bike up the North South Track and up the road from The Springs, or on the roadie starting in town Last time I did it on the roadie when I was down for Dark Mofo and there was snow up the top - was a mighty chilly ride back down!!
Painful being the operative word!! I stopped at the springs for a coffee and to massage some life back into my toes… I had at least put a rain jersey in my back pocket for its wind proofness, but the toes and fingers suffered…Yeah, I've ridden the Mt.

Ouch! Poor thing Heal fast, Miss Pez!Yeah all good thanks for asking.
She got stung by a bee and got a really bad reaction to the toxins. Weird as she’s been stung twice before and by a wasp!
Quite a significant infection which super strong antibiotics took care of. Her hand was so swollen it was really scary. They were going to keep her for two nights but the infection has gone. Just insane swelling now which got the plastics doctors involved because lots of little nerves can be damaged. But antibiotics. How good is science!!
We were in the same boat a while ago. Son got stung by a bee. Leg puffed up antibiotics and a few days in hospital. Dr reckons bee had a dirty stinger and caused an infection. Not sure I have heard of that but scary as swelling was going up the leg and had the Drs worried.Yeah all good thanks for asking.

Glad to hear all on the mend.
Strava says 1hr25min from the brewery yesterday on the roadie. First time in a long time I haven't stopped at the Springs.What was your time up the hill? I never counted mine - just “slow” will suffice
I think my last leisurely effort was closer to 3 hours from Salamanca - I did stop for water a couple of times and generally "paced" myself!Strava says 1hr25min from the brewery yesterday on the roadie. First time in a long time I haven't stopped at the Springs.
Not sure. The plastics registrar said it’s not common but sometimes they carry a toxin and it will affect somebody stung but most times not.Ouch! Poor thing Heal fast, Miss Pez!
Edit: Could it be sensitisation to the toxin? I know it can happen with jumping ants, maybe bees too?
