@shinscar - I mentioned the same actor to Faith, probably for the same reason :D
@mashton - bad luck (not that you'll be needing a bike for a while). Hope it turns up soon.
Now that it's all done and dusted, I just want to thank jonny and clintsmoker for conceiving the TNRC, and continuing to manage it with such panache (…and for dinner).
From the first freezing temp recce of the Whitedown route back in March to the extended puncture workshop of the de luxe, it's been an amazing year. I didn't regret my decision to go with the TNRC over other weekday options, and enjoyed the chance to regain my road legs. My biggest rushes were assorted breakaways on rolling terrain with the likes of Texas, jaygee, claus, JAMIE, etc, but I had some very pleasant evenings sweeping up at the back too.
It was also very rewarding seeing new riders attracted by the shorter/closer to town routes that I cooked up (after approval/recce by the indeterminate elders). Hopefully we'll continue to see new faces next year, and this year's new faces can enjoy being slightly older faces. We will probably be doing leader & backstop shadowing next season, so get ready to volunteer when Spring comes around.
Despite my constant bitching, I think the TNRC is one of the things Velocio has on his list of 'reasons why lfgss is fucking awesome'. Long may it continue (especially because I pushed the boat out on a new light).
