Da Alpine Epic Bro

iN Zed - Tue, 3 March 2009

Months ago I signed me 'n a bro, Byron Wright ;) , up for this 4 day 5 stage mountain bike race from Mt Somers to Lake Tekapo called the Alpine Epic.
This short 243km ride with a measly 6300m ascent was the first of it's kind in New Zealand and Aroha Nui Nui ('Big Big Love' NZ Style) was going to knock it down. In case you need some assistance with the metric conversion: 150.9932 miles and 20,669.2913 feet of Ascent but really it was more, I just don't have the details handy 8)
