That’s right, we’re taking the soft option! Bottles And Chains are entering a rolling gang into the 50km leg of the Tahune MTB Marathon (technically it’s called the Macquarie Accounting Challenge, but no one knows what you’re talking about if you call it that). Everyone else is probably doing the 100km leg, but heavy beer consumption over the last few years has resulted in lower peak fitness for the BnC crew, so that would likely kill us all. Much better to do 50km and still be able to walk during the following month. That said, a bar-stool recovery program holds some promise of rehabilitation.
If you want to come along and join us you should go and register. We’re not going to be doing it in a stressful manner (not if I have anything to say about it) and no one will laugh at you if you fall off (much). Registration closes today! So yeah, do it now or you’ll miss out and you’ll have to sit at home on a Sunday and spend all day recovering from your hangover on the couch eating chips and watching DVDs, when you could quite easily be out in the wilderness getting dirty and sweaty and feeling like you’re about to die!
