I have to confess.. I was 1 of those people that looked out the window in the morning and said bugga riding in that shight..

well done to the riders that did go..

just a thought.... is there a reason we couldnt do the same ride, for the same cause, on short (maybe a week (weather permiting on the day)) notice in the next week or 2 or 3 ?? Im sure there would be a great turn out going by the success storys from the ride in the rain.. Anyhoo, just a thought

Nothing stopping anyone from going for a ride with the same route, but the fundraising part is not happening till next year - hopefully in the summer and maybe for a different cause. Hopefully we will be able to co-ordinate another countrywide event in 2009.

Fair enough Suzi Q.. as I said it was just a thought.. was nothing to do with felling quilty about not going on the run while so many others did !!
