Yeeeeew - nice conditions DJ.

I can't work it out - did you do it twice, once with the camera on the back and once with it on the front?

Yes and not only that, but he was clocked at over 18 km/h.

You must have worked up a thirst DJ.

My 14' WoW clocked 18.9 on the Garmin (with a 125kg bloke on it, plus camelbak) and I was well down at the back of the fleet. Goodness only knows what MJ, DJ and PT were hitting [}:)]

I clocked 63.2 driving to work.... does that count?

As usual, the northerly didn't get up until mid-morning, so some of us who were planning something a little earlier than banker's hours of a 10am start missed out. Oh well, c'est la vie.
