Well done to all who took part, Lyndal Molloy was declared the winner.

This Sunday sees the club back at the Pinnacle, where members have the choice of 3, 7 or 10km on what is arguably our steepest overall course. This coming Wednesday sees the regular 3 lap handicap event at 5pm.
As the weather warms up, consider training at dawn or at night to take advantage of cooler conditions. Make sure to drink plenty of water, or electrolytes if you are having a longer session.
