Stupid white ball!

The Swing, NO technique!

The Driving Range Girls!

Still recovering from our ride on Sunday and the run on Monday morning, the girls thought we would try something different, golf.  Those who could had a round of 9 holes, whilst the rest of us settled for the opportunity to smack the *^%@! out of the white ball on the driving range.

Takapuna range is the flashest I have ever visited, you dont even have to bend over and get you balls from a bucket, it pops up automatically and even has foot pedals to lower or raise the ball.  Unfortunately this didn't help us at all!  Lets just say if we had been drinking for every bad ball, we will still be drunk on Wednesday.  I think I took the cream as I managed to slice a ball so much it practically went at right angles and out of the park via very small gap in the fence.

It wasn't long before the driving range girls decided smacking this stupid small ball was hardwork!, hot and sweety, blisters and sore back, cricky worse than a 4 hour bike ride!.  Lucky the reward was a hydration drink at Hole 19 :)

Tuesday morning ride with the Quay St riders was a hard one this morning, 2 hours.  CM is getting specialized cycle coaching so we are all following along with what she has to do .... but Im not sure we will all keep up with these hill rides in big gears.  Todays ride included hill repeats in the big chain ring.  Nice!  Both legs and butt still recovering from Sunday so a bit sore today.
