    Well, if I pass the medical this morning I'm back in for the 2013 version. Funny thing is, I ran the 6 foot track this weekend and the downhills ate my quads. I don't want the Doc to notice that I can't actually walk that well.

    I've said this before, the SDBC is a really about people, the whole crew, not just the riders. The challenge brings people together and brings out the best in them. If we could spread "SDBC Spirit" around the world would be a better place.

    A great event all round and a real pleasure racing with Lynton again. Terry Flaskos took stage 9 and made over $14,000 for the RFDS! Lou McLaren, 74 years young took the final stage. Despite all those years of experience he still suffered from a sore arse. Some things never change.
