四个素不相识的人组成了一个团队,参加4月在Taupo举办的100公里慈善行。四个人里,有两个来自葡萄园,一个刚大学毕业(室内设计),一个生物工程研究人员。团队名字叫'Strangers in the Night'。这个周末是第一次模拟训练,在Riverhead森林越野. 四个人里只有我有空参加。是一次很好的练兵,体会一下越野的滋味。这是营地。
With milling going on in some parts close to the base we’ll
take you all the way up Barlow Road to start with (sorry about that,
but don’t worry 95% of the trails are still there, and they are looking
great!). Once you have made the trek up Barlow road, you’ll go left on
to Trig Road for a minute or two before jumping into a cool little
track off Trig Road. For the next 4km’s from this point you will
generally be heading down! And we guarantee you will love this section
of fast hard packed trails linked by very short gravel sections.
You will then have a short climb before getting to you first drinks
station. A really nice native section follows, you will enjoy this! And
from there you can really get into your work on the flat trail’s and
roads that follow for the next few km. Once off Campbell Road the ‘out
the back loop’ is a wicked combination long downhill’s, a couple of
short sharp uphill’s, and some magic view’s!! Once you pass your third
drinks station, it’s a nice and flat last km or two back to base!
