I had the pleasure of meeting Craig Alexander last Saturday while he was in town as an ambassador for last weekend’s Long Distance Champs.
For those of you cycling purists who have been living on an island, Craig (Crowie) hails from NSW and is the current Ironman world champion having won the
the last 2
years in a row.
Lucky Craig got to have his picture taken with me (in my SPR kit of course) all nice and sweaty straight after our Saturday morning ride 🙂
I’m sure I made a lasting impression!
Some of you may remember Flying Fynn sporting a very eye catching moustache about this time last year.
Ryan was doing his bit for “Movember”
Movember is about bringing the moustache back and having
some fun for two very serious causes – prostate cancer and depression in men.
SPR can give back to the community as whole and have some
fun at the same time by getting behind this great
cause.
All you need to do is grow the mo and get your friends and loved ones to support you…
Put your name in the comments and SPR will register a team!

Gregor is currently holidaying
