Any Southern hemisphere ninjas heard of this new race? : "peak to pub" at Mt Hutt? Last year was the first year. Its a 2+ km downhill ski or board, a 19km downhill MTB on the Mt Hutt access road and a 11 km run to the Blue Pub in Methven in October. Seems to be a dream race (except for the running bit!)
Its the brain child of Multi-sportgod Steve Gurney.

I would do it if I still live down there.

I would agree that it sounds

I would agree that it sounds awesome except for the run. Chinese downhill on MTBs down a sketchy road sounds like mayhem in the making. This race does sound like just the thing for pinky, though...
