47

Hey Kero. I’ve had a bit of an unexpected family emergency so will have to be a late withdrawal. Bennett and the lads will fly the GC-idiot flag for me. I’m sure tonight will be awesome.

Safe riding!

AP.

awesome awesome prize pool. I wish the scene was big like that here in Perth. Well done on getting so many sponsors on board. Will be quite the event!!

49

That was an awesome ride! Woke up this morning and my legs feel like two bags of concrete. Thanks for organising another brilliant alleycat Kero, and thanks to all the sponsors for getting behind it. So many good local brands on show which is great. Thanks for the beers as well Paul and to Erik for throwing open the shop.

40km all up, my route is here.

saw a group of u guys coming out of bretts warf… so jealous, i was the idiot requesting a skid from the hamilton, was a lil late on the call but i saw bennett looking around like a stunned mullet, then some deadbeat bogan beside me called out something about a front wheel skid???

51

All of the Gold coast boys had a ball, big thanks to Kero for the even and all the sponsors for delivering the goods!

53

Thanks to all involved!
