Ok I have decided I am going to attempt to do the Five Dams Ride in April of Next Year.  That gives me very little time to prepare for it.  So I need to up my work ethic and get some km's in to my legs and some decent km's not all flat rides as I am used to.

The Five Dam Rides is BWA event that covers 234kms.  It is way out of my league and I should probably start with something like the 3 Dams Ride.  So step one set a realistic goal I have already failed.  Thats ok I will work out a plan and try and get there.  If you don't try you never achieve.   

I am going to ride with the http://www.armadalecycles.com/ team so I need to do some work so I don't slow them down too much.

You can stalk me on strava if you are keen to watch the build up to it on strava.  I have also signed up for the Rapha Festive 500 on there,  I imagine I am going to kill myself in 2 days and not finish that but hey its worth a shot.  

Anyway I will keep this updated here for my 2 intersted readers.  So 2 big goals with no plan yet.

The water bombing heli's landed on an oval nearby and I got some quick photos with my phone.

Not quite Elvis but still a decent size.

This was the fires it was trying to deal with.  http://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2012/01/04/3402198.htm
