Simon and Ben are competing in the 2018 Whitehorse Challenge, biking, running and raising funds to support great charities!
Canterbury
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.
The bearded duo have signed up to the challenge, adding some extra sessions in between Tuesday and Thursday training runs. Simon is taking on the bike leg, having previously competed in events such as "nothing", and "zilch". He does have two highly functional legs though, and balance honed by days doing tricks on waterskis, so is bound to pull through. Ben "fitness freak" Messer meanwhile takes on the run leg. At a clear advantage weighing about 40kg dripping wet, he should zip up the hills. Together they should post a decent time as they represent the backline of the Waimate Rugby Club.
