Without warning, Mile High was offered the opportunity last week to take an exam to renew his pilot's licence. He passed - without having done any preparation - and so has his wings back! Question is - how would you feel if you were boarding a plane and saw this fella in the pilot's seat?
The skies were threatening again as we met this last Sunday, and a couple of downpours between 5 and 6 saw us returning to the shelter in John Scott Park a bit earlier than usual for BYO drinks and eats. No photos this week, since Culture's phone broke after she'd recorded the gathering for posterity, and we haven't been able to retrieve the images. The occasion will just have to live in our memories....
Meanwhile...B&W and Trudi Fruti are in the middle of his 10 day, 2500 km fundraising ride from Brisbane to Falls Creek, having left on the 2nd March. As Trudi Fruti says "To put it in perspective...that is 75% of the distance of last years’ Tour de France in 50 % of the time (without the rest days the pros get). They [B&W and his cycling buddies] are even doing two laps around Bathurst (one in each direction) for “fun”." They'll then be completing the Peaks Challenge Falls Creek (rated as one of the top 10 hardest one-day amateur cycling events in the world) in under 10 hours. Here's the program:
To quote Trudi Fruti again: "Mountains 4 Murray honours a good friend, and fellow cyclist, who was diagnosed with MND in 2018. MND and Me is a charity that has supported Murray and his family for the past 4 years, and who raise money for vital MND research, as there is currently no cure." You can donate via this link to this really worthy cause. And we look forward to hearing all about it when they get home.
In the circle this week we decided to continue with the BYO food arrangements for the moment; however we will be going back to the Hash keg for drinks (thanks to our Beermeisters and Winos).
Next run details
When: Sunday 13th March, 5 pm
Where: Samford Rangers Soccer Club. A map!
Hares: Haughty and Culture will set the trail. Hash drinks will be available, but BYO food. We suggest you bring chairs.
On, on!
