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!
