One day to go

    One day to go before heading off on the Tasmanian Trail ride. Went on a 14km shake down ride around Devonport in the morning keeping my wife company while she was jogging. Did a couple of hill sprints to get the heart rate up. Much prefer riding to running any day. Then started packing....
