Hello
At long last...

The day has arrived, entries have officially opened. All the detail you have been wondering about is on the site. Get in quick and secure your place for the 2009 Epic.

Prizes for the speedsters...

First team to enter will get a prize. The top 20 teams will also go in the draw to win some equally cool prizes. Places are limited and there is no reason to not get your entry in immediately. You could win:

• Some awesome outdoor gear from the crew at R&R Sport, www.rrsport.co.nz

• A spectacular balloon flight in Queenstown with Sunrise Balloons, www.ballooningnz.com  

• Personalised coaching with www.mtbskills.com, a great chance to fine tune your technical ability and pick up some tips

• Parasailing 600ft over the blue waters of Lake Wakatipu with Paraflights, www.paraflights.co.nz

Another tip...

We’re not convinced that you need tips but we want to use the space we’ve got on the newsletter. If there is a cold southerly blowing on a Sunday morning and you’re finding it hard to get out on the bike have a go at breaking your chain and then fixing it, then do it again with your eyes closed. Practising could save you 30 minutes when you snap a chain climbing out of the Phantom River in a howling Norwester.
