Katie & Brad

Katie & Brad were here in Coffs to really get into whatever they could find that was fun and active...and so they found us.  Brad tucked in right behind Gary and was game to "Freefall" all the way down!

Katie wasn't too far behind either!


77 years young....

Very inspired with Graham and Judy who completed the Dorrigo Freefall in excellent style. When I asked them both what the secret to their youthful outlook  was Graham said, "never stop."  They both regularly cycle and are always on the lookout to be active.

Ride to Work

Lots happening.......

I cannot believe how much has happened and we are now in November!!!  First up how much fun was Ride to Work Day.  It was exciting unloading the bikes in the dark at ten to six in the morning and all of us riding off to City Square...all of us being the following gorgeous lovelies...Jo, Janet, Narelle, Kat, Carole & moi. 

We got togged in our Running Wild tshirts and got peddling.  It was awesome to be part of the ride.  Jo & Narelle got their helmet heads tonged to perfection afterwards.  But the classic of the morning was Janet getting lost!  She was too busy competing to realise she lost us!  Of course Jo had to pose in front of her own poster as we rode up to it.  Her comment not mine, "Didn't realise how big my head was!" 

Narelle has the riding bug and came along to do the Dorrigo Freefall the following week.  First up we rode out to Griffith Lookout, NOT DOWNHILL and then Andreas, Narelle, Sandra & Sophia led by Gary hooned down the Waterfall Way. Gary and I were on a high after taking Narelle & her group down. Turned out Gary knew Andreas, talk about a small world.

Been a bit pre-occupied with getting my teaching qualifications approved here in Oz and this has involved going to Sydney, teaching in a school for a week and attending an interview.  Happy to say have passed all of it and just waiting for my approval number and I will then be able to do some casual teaching. 

Our walks are going great and we have taken a few groups to check out the awesome rainforest & waterfalls of Dorrigo.  In particular had a blast with the lovely Willem and Lenka this weekend.  Lenka was sensational; so into the rainforest.  She smiled the whole way round and took loads of pictures with her amazing camera.  Willem (Lenka's dad) is over visiting her from the Czech Republic  and he did so well on the 2 hour walk.  He cracked up when Robyn & I hid behind a huge Fig Tree and surprised him by popping out and shouting boo!
