update by peter.

some of you may have wondered what has happened to south african mark lately.  he used to be a regular on our rides and he used to be the one that everyone had to chase up the hills on sunday.  well it seems that recently he has taken to fishing as the sport of choice.  not only that, but a handline from an oil rig off the vietnam coast seems the perfect place to catch lunch.  work being that thing that gets in the way of cycling recently, he hopes to be back out with us soon.  minus the fish but hopefully the orange jumpsuit remains.

you may have noticed that i have added a multimedia page to the blog.  this contains all the photo’s that i took the other day when i was chasing the group around.  i had to reduce them down a bit to make it more manageable, so if you need supersized pics, let me know.

there has been some discussion with cycling wa recently about the possibility of our group becoming a proper cycling club.  what this would mean for us i am not 100% sure right now and i need to have a further talk to wacf.  it could, however, mean that our rides would be classed a club training rides and may be covered by licence insurance in case of an accident.  there are other benefits as well, but it would also mean a club fee, licence fee and a proper organisational structure (pres, sec, treas, etc).  i am not sure which way we will go with this yet but i would appreciate your comments and opinions, as after all it is your group too.
