Birthday Boy

Well, it's actually a couple of days away before my big five-oh but I'm heading down to the South Island tomorrow to ride in the 100km Le Race from Christchurch to Akaroa so the celebrations have started early. This beauty arrived at work today by courier and it was all I could do to keep my colleagues away from it (I'd already put on a morning tea shout complete with chocolate cake, so they weren't getting any more!!). Thank you very much to my neighbour Sue and her family for thinking of me - this will be great "carbo loading" between now and the race on Saturday!!
