2011- turning fifty!!

2011 - a year of consolidation, preparation and peace!!! (and turning 50!)

No big plans for this year, just lots of laid back little stuff. Gonna relax, be peaceful, stay closer to home and friends and family. My boss will be happy that I have no big plans to take large chunks of time off work like last year.

Only one national level mountain bike race this year - the National championships in Adelaide, Feb 22-26. They had to add another category just for me! I'm the oldest crazy old lady who has ever wanted to compete in the downhill event and they had no class for a woman about to turn 50! They have always had one for men about to turn 50 so they had no excuse not to add one for the old ladies. Our age group is called 'super masters'!!!! lol

There will be other small trips during 2011:

To Melbourne to visit my gorgeous granddaughter especially for her first birthday!

At least 3 "Wandering Women's Weekends" which are weekends away exploring Tassie with 2 of my female friends. We did it in 2009, but didn't get around to it in 2010 so have vowed to be more organised in 2011. There is really so so much to see in Tassie. It is a beautiful amazing place to live and explore. And we have to scratch these itchy feet some how.

Planning to do regular day bush walks too. My 50th present to myself is going to be to walk the Overland track over 6 days in April 2012 so during 2011 I want to so lots more day walks. Tassie is a bushwalkers paradise. It can be hard to choose which walk to do as there are so many beautiful ones to choose from.
