Well, there were on Sunday 20th October when the local mountain bike club held their first event in a long time...the Cougar Chaser. Riders could enter either 30 km, 20 km or a 5 km ride and Jeff and Olivia decided to do the 5 km event together. The 5 km was set up as a 'family fun' ride so the kids were encouraged to look out for 'cougars' in the park (well, paper pictures of them!) Each rider who found one received a large block of chocolate and much to Olivia's delight she spotted one!! Plus she had the added bonus of being the first girl home so received a certificate for her effort.
Olivia, all set for her event (well, she will be once she puts her helmet on!)
Waiting for the start...
This is what they were looking for...
On the start line...Olivia and Jeff to the right of the photo after the smaller kids
The end result...well worth the effort! Good on you, Olivia, well done!
She now has her sights set on another local event in early November-The Taniwha, which consists of many different options including both running/walking events and mountain biking. Olivia has signed up for the 21 km mountain bike ride-go Olivia!!
