Sydney Summer Series

One week to go, so time to check up on the shorts and T shirts, and start inventing the 'leaving work early' excuses that see Sydney's workforce looking for the door every Wednesday arvo.

With daylight saving beginning this coming weekend, this will be the first time we are 'aligned' since the Olympic year. Despite this, we still fully expect to see the usual suspects rocking up at 4pm for some prolonged map study therapy (ok Michael, your sprung!). Garingal lead off once again with course setter David Dash 'Board' in the chair at McMahons Point. Always a good way to start, with the city backdrop, the Luna Park boardwalk run and the mad small streets of Waverton to blow away the winter cobwebs. I'm sure DD has a treat in store for us, as has our second event organiser, Steve 'It's a running sport' Flick. He's on the card for another cracker at Rodd Point and the Bay Run (apprentices can claim here).

Webmaster Dave Noble has cleared the results decks for another season of close racing and Dave McKenna will once again be working the results spreadsheet. Throw in Graeme Hill on data checking duties and Rosscoe (alias Pork Pie) dusting off the yellow banner and you can see that the team is back and raring to go!!

Lisa Lampe is having sleepless nights wondering what her first non de plume for the 08/09 season will be, Warwick Selby/Selby can't wait for some easy navigation, Larry is looking for a granite free summer and Andrew 'The Truth' Lumsden is threatening a badge even before the first race! Fun coming up folks, big time.

See you all on the 8th.
