Hi folks,

it's been such a busy week filled with such exciting stories that I thought it best to go back to a trusted old format to recap it all.

It's been a busy week at the clubhouse with practice in full swing and an election thrown in there for good measure (the club was a polling station) but the big news was coming in from around the world.  

To begin with, over the weekend, 3 Loyalists, Chris Aaen, Rob Johns, and Brian Jones, saw months of tedious preparation come to its culmination as they began their trek through the deserts of Jordan as part of the Racing the Planet endurance racing series. This insanity includes 6 stages over 7 days and 250km.  All 3 completed stage 1 but RJ and Jonesy both withdrew during stage 2 with heat related ailments. Aaen has continued on and, at the time of this post, should be close to the finish of stage 5, the Long March, a 90km double shot (update - he completed stage 5!). Full results can be found…

hello from jordon, well just finished race today, 40 kms approx 40 degrees.9 hours and yes a serious but kicking , mine, and  our teams for the most part. None us have got any sleep in three days with jet leg so race got  off to rough start. about 5 kms in rj  got some really bad nausea so we had to slow down and wait to see what was wrong,he looked a little under the weather so aaen and i went ahead and sent back the medic and water. rj got squared away and seemed ti impove, but was in for a really long day; aaen and i were a little concerned but not sure what to do, so we would walk with him and then go ahead and wait at check point  for him. this was basically the rest of the day. rj seemed to improve but had to maintain a slower pace, so we did as well. i was feeling pretty good till the last five kms, laboured pretty bad and basically had to sit down 50 yards from the finsh line, yep thats right 50 yards, and stayed for 10 minuites. just couldnt get up.. feeling better now but…
