Re: FINAL CLUB RUN SCORES 2021/2022
Congratulations, Ced! And commiserations to Mariana -- I've not checked back at previous years' scores, but I suspect you would have won with that score most years.

Good to see you all on Sunday. And always rewarding to see an Intro Ride 'graduate' moving forward with their cycling. Well done for leading again, Mick.

Re: Watching the Hill Climb - Sunday 18 September
I am sorry George, I wanted to join your ride up to the Race (hence me using that hilly route of yours) it was never my intention to make you give up yours.

Re: Watching the Hill Climb - Sunday 18 September
Cedric, your plans sound absolutely fine. However, if I lead a splinter group to a different post-event café, I'm defeating my own objective, so I think it's much better if I simply align my plans with yours and Phil's.
