"NOT Fangos. They're shocking in mud, despite what Challenge claim. This time of year, probably Limus. "

"Still three rounds for the moment. We have had a fair few few offers and they have all been good, so it promises be pretty darned hot. News when I know more."

"We need more lunacy like this at cross races :)"

"There was a boy on a harmonica at Myrtle Park on Sunday. Maybe he could join you..."

"This was one of the funniest things I've seen in years More races need drummers "
