Latest news: Tourers on parade at Daylesford ChillOut 2010
Sunday 7 March 2010
Our glorious Club President David P set a new personal best today, leading a ride that involved only 7 U-turns! Crowds gathered in the streets of Daylesford to cheer at this remarkable achievement.
Admittedly, six of the U-turns were imposed on us by organisers of the ChillOut parade who, so impressed with Rolf's 'Make Adam disappear into a cloud of black smoke' trick, asked us to ride up and down the parade route three times!
Click here for a few photographs from the day. Many thanks to Brett, Evan, Adam for the photos, and also the lovely Matthew and Brad who let us use some of the parade photos they posted to the Facebook ChillOut page and a few more as well.
