Félicitations au bonnet de douche

Well the scores are in and ALF appears to be right..... Maybe a little soft pedalling by Mr Smith on the qualification night but the handicappers and timekeepers decision is final and the scores on the doors are:

Well done to all, and congratulations to Matt on being the club 50 champion for 2016. Have to say the stories on the finish line were....... Grim......OOH The undercarriage..... Oh my legs..... 50 Miles....... Its such a long way..... Just the 100 to decide now lads and lasses, Who's in?

Chapeau Matt!

Thanks Les, thanks Alf. With just 15 seconds between us on handicap I'm looking forward to Les's 2017 challenge to take the trophy from me!

That was my first 50 and boy did it live up to expectations! I have aches in muscles that I didn't know existed. I'm still limping around the house like an arthritic 120 year old.

Great rides by all, Rod's time impressive as ever. 100 miles? Give it a day or two and I'm sure I'll be enthusiastic about the idea!

Well done Matt. Ride more of them and I,m sure your times will tumble.

Cheers Stu. Haha I'll bear that in mind! At least 25s will seem nice and short now...
