:crazy:
U Mad Bro?
We are all travelling from right round Aus to ride it, and you're complaining that its the other side of Fantasy Island? If i miss a spot on the 2017 TransNZ, my mate and I are are going to sook in Derby for a week instead. End of Feb/early march....see you there.
Ok. This is how it works.
I announce I am going to blue derby for a weekend of trails.
I don't drive, so the wife would offer to drive.
I say "No. honestly, I'll charter a bus and stow it underneath I got this"
She says "Oh, but we can take the kids too, and go garage sale hunting! I'll get on the net and see what family activities are up that way. I'm driving you up to your derby thing"
So we take the kids, we go garage sale hunting, we take the kids to mini golf and some overpriced indoor play centre with trampolines and hotdogs, then I spend the last two hours I had free for riding watching my kids ride around in the blue derby car park because they don't have the skills to ride anything more than flat tarmac.
We get in the car and go home, the Mrs says "That was so much fun, next time you want to go mountain biking with the family we should definitely come back to blue derby".
I stare off out the window into the middle distance as we drive home ... But the kids are happy, and the Mrs shoots me a big smile, and I can't be angry.
