i'm gonna head up and just do a couple of laps of the course if anyone else is interested- don't like the sound of all that climbing! may be a bit later than 9.15 so might see the rest of you at some stage up there. (assuming ye are talkin bout sunday morning 21st, though post is labelled 20th!!???)

Well, that was one good spin. Seven riders. No punctures. No mechanicals. No injuries. Spring arrived at 11am and stuck around for the day. Everyone was knackered at the end, but "in a good way". Life is good lads, life is good.

Moment of the day - watching Ross ride the lightning on the firebreak descent from the Black Banks. Fearsome!
