Happy New Year!

I hope you have had a great Xmas/New Year festive season and are looking forward to a fantastic 2013!!

I know a number of you were talking about using your free Tuesday nights to head out with the NBS Nelson Striders (5.45pm from the carpark opposite the Suter Art Gallery), so just a reminder that the next four weeks they do something a little different and they have their annual Summer Six O'Clock Series up the Maitai Valley.  You are welcome to join them - this week is a 3km, starting from the Golf Course, run or walk back down the Valley to Branford Park. No entry fee, just turn up before 6.00pm.

This Sunday is the NBS Nelson Striders Half Marathon & 10km - if you are keen on a challenge to start the New Year with a bang!  This one is all about guessing your time, with no watches allowed and staggered start times.

And entries for the Taylors Nelson Women's Triathlon (Sunday April 7th) are also open - $5 reduced entry fee closes mid Jan, so to take advantage head to http://www.nelsonevents.co.nz/content/taylors-nelson-womens-triathlon

I will be in touch a bit closer to February when we start back.  Just a reminder that our sessions are on Wednesday nights now, and that our first session back is on Wednesday the 13th of February (not 6th as on your programme, (it's Waitangi Day) ).

Also - for those of you working on mastering the 'V' turn on the mountainbike (Dave's group) - the spot where you were practising with Dave, if you walk your bike up a little further along that track, there is a 'nicer' V turn to work on - with that tree absent from view and a less daunting drop off.  (Carl's group were using this one during our last MTB session). I would love to hear how you have been going with it all.  And, once I find out more about the next Skills Clinic from Get Moving I will pass them on to you.
