Olympic intro
Hi all
Sorry it’s taken me a few days to get onto writing here at the Olympics, it’s been pretty full on since arrival and now we are all go tomorrow as the road race kicks of at 11.
So far the build up has gone really well, and the team is in good spirits ahead of tomorrow. We have ridden over the course a couple of times and it is sure going to be a tough race, with a 10km climb every lap and combined with the heat and humidity it won’t be an easy task.
Well sorry its so brief but I am going to get myself into bed and put my feet up as I will be needing all the energy I can gather to do my job for Julian and New Zealand.
A few pics below from the last couple days. 3rd pic is me just getting in a little practice, not sure ill get to do it again on saturday…
Cheers
Tim
Go Guddy!!

Tim, just got back from a weeks holiday near Carcassone and had the pleasure of watching you ride the Quillan Criterium. We knew it was you because your mum and dad were shouting your name each time you passed the bar we were in. Anyway, we got chatting. they are lovely people and are very proud of their son and next time we are in NZ and thinking of buying property we know who to contact!!
Good luck with the rest of the season. Hope to see you in another grand tour next year.
C&C
