Ride Like Crazy - An overwhelming success....
|
Hi Dave
Have sent you emails directly thanking you, but thought I would add to the comments posted here. So big thanks again to you and all of your team for the outstanding job you all did in organising this event, and making it all a fantastic day out for us riders! Huge thanks to all of your volunteers too, manning the most welcome drink stations along the way, and then the lunch at Soldiers Reserve which went down a treat! Hope the officer who was manning the last drink station and hurt her foot and was walking on crutches at the reserve recovered ok. This was the only injury I noticed for the day!
Would also like to thank Tina again for organising the bus ride back to Marion, saved me a return ride of 100km, which left me fresh for Friday!
I rode the full distance for RLC, then backed it up the following day and rode the full distance of the Challenge ride too, with a return ride from Angaston to Gawler train station. Distance training for the event certainly helped, this included a number of 200km plus rides leading up to the week of the Tour. (What can I say, I like sitting on the corner there at Subway Victor Harbor!)
I look forward to joining in again next year, and hope to drag along some more guys from work, and get them to do both rides with me.
My only downside was I could not join in on any of the social events at the Hotels, as I was committed to rides, and this wasn't the carbo loading I was looking for at the time!
Thanks Dave, your team, the volunteers, Tina, and all of the sponsors for a fantastic day.
Mark.

Good Service in Adelaide?
|
Peter Giessauf at International Cycles Stepney is excellent, phone number is 83622609. Small shop, personal service, excellent mechanic. I must go past half a dozen or more bike shops just to get to him!
