Actually, I am good with any night for Christmas get together. Finally Jay would get together with his buddies!
Craig, I suggest you continue to send an email to advise us, or have this blog send out emails automatically telling us there is an new post to the blog. Email just seems to be the thing we are all connected to daily. Nice work on this though.

Attendance
Wow! Another great night. How much longer can we ride? This was a big night for attendance. Liam and I caught up to Jeremy for second place and overtook Ali in the process. Ali opted for a sauna as opposed to a ride.... claiming he would rather have a root canal than ride...... oh wait a sec, he did. See everyone next week.

Attendance
Great ride tonight! Another nice night and the rain held off. 1:40, 24 km. We rode backwards tonight, Malden then Morton. Both trails are in great shape.
Liam, it took all year but you have finally done it ........ rider of the night. Liam outrode everyone on the ride tonight, Mike (upper body injury), Ian (cold, flu, chest infection, something he ate, out of shape???? not sure), and Craig (barely and only because I let him).
Rides continue (
weather permitting).
