Things as They Stand

I am not going to go out there and say that we have a roaring start to the competition for the season as yet.

We have yet to have see Van der Westerhuizen and Maddock and while today had some slightly greater participation the Needle field was limited to Ruby, Daniel, Willem and myself.

The race today was definitely "honest" with only the slightest of bumps to help us along. Ruby got away with the front bunch after Kantor and Longley were found discussing who should get the last remaining diamond on said front bunch. (Rumours are that there may have to be a disciplinary hearing post some Longley-esque thievery of said diamond position.)

Erasmus would have been able to chair the tribunal however he was just checking out the health of the crayfish population at the start line so he may not be able to add much value.

So at the finish we had Ruby finishing with Pete Cole on the 2nd bunch, I languished towards the back of the 3rd bunch only just pipping a slightly enlarged Ian Black at the line. Daniel pulled in just behind us and Penny Erasmus came through just behind him.

So that leaves Rubenstein with no contenders for top position at present and you can have a look at your needle standing here (I am struggling to make it easily readable so please let me know if you can figure it out). I am out for this week Tuesday but hopefully see you guys at Dave Black's Thursday time trial otherwise see you at the Butlers Clifton race next Sunday
