2008 Hall of Fame
Final Results attached.
Thank you to all who participated today, "from small acorns ..." as they say! Congratulations to Karl Murray. Karl went early at set the benchmark of 2.04 and then went again on the fixed gear variety and knocked that off only 4 sec slower to take that award as well in a time of 2.08 (on a fixed gear!). I did get a call from a couple of guys (for sake of anonymity lets call them Hayden and Gordon) wondering if Karl had anything to do with the scheduling of the race - given it was during the week of the Tour of Southland?!
Thank you to also to iBike, The Exercise Room, Polar, Pedal Tours and The cafes of Parnell for the various spot prizes and welcome coffee!
A special thanks to Parnell Mainstreet Inc. for making it all happen and Alan Reeves for his support / goading you all to the finish line.
For those who don't think its tough, they should have been with me just beyond the finish line 2 min after one nameless sole came through, and showed me exactly what he had knocked back at dinner the night before. Thanks Terry - just got the last of it off my shoes!!
Lastly,we would appreciate any constructive feedback you have (positive / negative) as we look to improve the event next year (and get alot more of your mates / adversaries competing)
Stay upright and safe out there!
