Phew.
What a day. I'm going to go out of a limb and call it the BEST Melburn Roobaix yet. The biggest field of 930 plus all the tag alongs, the longest and most challenging course, the most EPIC of prizes, and easily the best weather to date. To those who rode, got their smile on and made it what it was, a heartfelt thank you.
The prizes they were many, and thanks to event sponsors and supporters for adding to the prize pool.
Congratulations to Will Ford, the luckiest rider over the cobbles whose name was plucked from the GOLD box and rode home with the FYXO prize - A bottle of French Champagne, a goldie lookin' Pave trophy, and a Return airfare to Paris for April to see the Rhonde Van Vlaanderen / Paris-Roubaix in the flesh.
Will was 'stoked'.
If I even get close to making the 2012 event as good as this year let alone better, I too will be 'stoked'.
Time to start dreaming bigger - again.
Happy Friday! - or as they say in France 'Vendredi Heureux!'
