    sometimes to be good, first it has to be really really bad!

    really enjoyed following this thread John, you told me about this event on the ACC course but it didnt sink in properly. Next year!

    Oh BTW was it a rider on the cruise who we saw pulled over in the video?

    Certainly was. It's the 'pretty red cruiser with yellow & black tape' mentioned in the blog.

    This was the 2013 ride, so unfortunately, you're a little late to the starting blocks. Koro will start a thread for the 2014 at some point...
