Galah Award:

Awarded to Des Gooda- for the unintendedly theft of Clive Pearce’s running shoes during the Club Championship race. Both pairs of shoes were very similar in colour- but placed about 2 metres apart. Clive on returning from his bike, with his shoes missing went out on the run bare footed- but returned shortly after. Des upon realising his error disqualified himself and offered apologies to Clive. Des has offered Clive 10 weeks of free swim squad lessons so that Clive can improve his swim time and beat Des.

Craziest Act on Two Wheels
Awarded to Chris Watt for his fall from grace- well his spectacular fall of his bike on a Sunday ride. You can see it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8BP_nKSKlbQ. Please give it a thumbs up.
