New Zealand volcano.
So down here in the land of the Kiwi birds and vocanos.
It is pretty crazy down here the town is on the rim of a 25 mile around lake that has a small mountian in the middle. The amazing thing is that this is a giant volcano crater! I remembered the shape from science class, they sometimes have a little lava dome in the middle like the island I saw. Everywhere in town there are these steaming vents that smell like eggs and boiling hot water! Even cracks between the brick walkway have steam spurting out. The ground is alive here!
I did this big ride yesterday and it was awesome i felt good. I rode in the rain over at the local forest trails and did 3 combo intervals. They were simulating the races double pitch climb. the 1st step was 12 mins at at then dropped down a trail to hit a steep pitch 1:30 MAP climb.
It was cold and rainy but after the intevals rode some sick trails they where like Clemson trails but thru the jungle .with redwood and giant ferns. Wow. I would fly here just to ride the trails serious it is really unique.
I topped off this ride with about 45 mins of tempo on the road i was pooped and slept like 12 hrs last night.
Zing zing.
Time to go.
