Robyn's E News 22 Dec 08

Hi All,

Noticed lots of people out training over the weekend. I think everyone must check out the BOM website and schedule rides accordingly.

OTHER NEWS:

1. David Janmaat is being let loose in the medical world after graduating recently.

2. The legal profession won't know what's hit it now that Matt Hubber has been admitted to the Bar.

3. Greg Kahl is back in town. He recently competed in the Callala Beach triathlon only days after an accident on his bike.

4. On the mend after knee surgery - Al Stancombe.

5. Channel 9 will be screening a one hour highlights package from Ironman WA at 11am, Sunday 25 January 09.

6. Get well wishes to Ali Fitch. Ali has been admitted to Canberra Hospital with pneumonia.

7. Bicycle NT says this is a good time to remind people to report broken glass, and all other problems they find on their road/path. You can either call your local council directly or go to Report a fault on the network.

8. Some people have reported that the Challenge Series website is only showing the Adelaide event. When you go to www.challengeseries.org.au you currently need to hover on each of the people featured to bring up the other events pages. This may be rectified over Christmas. In the meantime the information for all the remaining Challenge Series events are there - so get cracking with your bookings over the break.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas where ever you are spending it (members are currently all around the world as well as spread across Australia). Thanks for your feedback on E News, hope you enjoyed the eclectic mix of news during the year.

Triathlon 3 x the fun
Cheers
Robyn
