Whitehorse Challenge - Veterinary Centre + Red Hot Real Estate

The Whitehorse Challenge is a charity event run by the Waimate Rotary Club as part of the Veterinary Centre Whitehorse Big Easy event. One member of each team completes a 26km mountainbike, and the other an 18km run in the stunning hills around Waimate. The added challenge for the teams is to raise $500, with funds this year being dispersed to local and regional charities.

Jeff (from the Vet Centre Oamaru), and Fraser, the owner of Red Hot Real Estate are a late pairing after Fraser's original team member had to be scratched. Jeff comes with some serious pedigree (he places in hilly events like the Luxmore Grunt), but comes into this event with the main aim of beating Ryan from Waimate so that the Oamaru branch can have the bragging rights for the year to come! He fears that home court advantage and some dodgy marshaling could see him on the back foot, so watch this space........

Fraser was coaxed into entering after a challenge from his brother Greig, and if anyone has ever met a Moore then you know this could be a competitive battle on the bike leg. Fraser's claim to fame actually comes on two legs. As every single member of his family will be able to attest to (apparently he brings out the fact often), Fraser has held the Waimate High School 100m record since 1998. (Note that he has asked that this item not be fact checked in case he loses his bragging rights).
