Our next adventure is fast approaching and is a little prettier then our last two. Pioneer Training is hitting it SEXY style, with an hour beginners class of Silks. Easier and more graceful than pole, the new rage is wrapping yourself in a silky sheet and twirling around. So if you are keen to see what all the fuss is about, for only $25 you can join us on Saturday 2nd June from 10am to 11am. Get in touch with Jenna or I to reserve your spot. Numbers are strictly limited.

Another awesome adventure jam packed with laughter, beautiful scenery and a great bunch of Pioneers out of their comfort zones. We hit the ‘white rocks’ for our day of climbing and abseiling, most of the group never trying either. The boys all had a go coming down forwards, whilst us girls ooohed and aaahed. Once we came down we were then challenged to climb back up. Jamming feet in gaps, hands in crevices, the group were just as awesome at playing spiderman. Great day out in the sun guys. Thank you to everyone that came.

Pioneer Training is breeding some awesome runners! Our whole Team had finished the scenic 21.1km run in under 2hrs 5min. Kate nearly cracking 1:50! Kate, Christina and Jane all completing their first attempts at the half. Blaydo and I out to beat our times from last year. Everyone crossed the finish line with a big smile and to a big cheer from the girls and family members that came out to support. Great effort girls! Jenna and I are super proud of you all.

On Saturday 15 Pioneers embarked on one of our most challenging but funniest adventures to date. A huge 3 hours of riding ahead of us and we hadn’t even left the carpark before Ursula had her first stack. That was first of many for the group, we had people flying off tracks, falling in mud pools, hanging from trees, jumping logs, and best of all, in hysterics with laughter. Quite a challenging course for most of the group, some of the single tracks got the better of us, and we have the blood and bruises to prove it. After a great time on the bikes, we rode on into the Majura Vineyard with our 3 instructors where all our deck chairs, wine and platters were set up waiting. Collapsing into the chairs we laughed and exchanged stories whilst enjoying the harvest festival band. After a massive day our instructors packed up our gear, loaded us on to the bus and took us home. Absolute terrific day!!! Jenna and I would like to thank the group for a very memorable day and a big thank you to Rohan and his crew for an awesome adventure!

23 pioneers took to cookies beach on Saturday to participate in our beach boot camp and surfing adventure. What seemed to be not the best weather turned into a beautiful sunny day. First up on the beach tyres and a few people asking themselves what they signed up for. After a solid 8 minutes on tyres we hit med ball work and sprints. A few of the group bending at the hips tasting last nights dinner then to top it all off gorilla crawls and work in the water. Great work to the entire group for putting the hard work in.

Up next the boys from soul rider surf school took the group through a quick run down of how to get on the surf board, pop and ride the waves. Out on the water it wasn’t that easy everyone had a few good dumps in the waves and some of the group got the whole “pop” thing. Samar got the hang of it and while kiz was up the back with me trying to hit the big waves kristy had Cat and Gemma a few meters in riding every wave possible. An awesome day at the beach as always and we would like to thank the group an soul rider for an unreal day. Check out photos on our Facebook.

Pioneer Training is at it’s craziest this year with a massive line up of adventures in store. From whitewater rafting down the Murrumbidgee, mountain bike riding to the vineyards for wine tasting, Abseiling at the cotter, to being electrocuted dozens of times in the Tough Mudder challenge, you are guaranteed to have a fantastic day full of laughter, perhaps a possum bite, and some amazing memories. All adventures (apart from the Tough Mudder Challenge and the Gold Coast Marathon), are designed for beginners. So be courageous, take off that princess tutu and come and get dirty with Jenna and I.  Those of you considering the Tough Mudder please get on the website www.toughmudder.com.au and have a good look at what is entailed. Do not register until you to talk to Jenna or I, as it does entail a strong level of strength and fitness.

Me and 7 Pioneers were up at Sparrows fart this morning getting ready to take on the 20km Tour De Femme. A huge trip down from QLD for Julie, Helgas daughter only to get a flat tyre around the 15km and had to walk the 5km to the finish line. Annie, Sal and Gai were off leaving their dust for Zoe, Caroline and myself. Not that we minded and it was a first for Zoe and Caroline and they did super well to complete the entire course. With me next to Zoe the entire race I am sure she wanted to stab me by the end as I only let her stop so I could put her chain back on. The group did super well today and Kristy would have been super proud of all of you.

Pioneer Training Christmas Party is super soon. This year we are heading to Hotel Realm on Friday the 16th of December. Kristy and I will be providing food for the occasion.
