Go Antony, good to see you're still fighting the good fight! Hope the Ho chi Minh in Leigh Woods still gets some loving, I can't imagine the repairs we did back in 2005 still holding up now.

Imagine, the biggest issue I have with the trails down here is the dust Feel like someone's been sanding my eyeballs after every ride (the 45C heat doesn't help).

Keep up the good work Antony, one day I'll be back to see how you've been getting on!

Matt! You're alive! You still in Australia then? Believe it or not, we did have dust earlier this year when the trails froze - they're back to normal now though.

The old Ho Chi Minh is knackered - two wet summers on the trot have pretty much done for it . But it seems like the FC are making moves to get an official trail over there - funding for a survey and design has just been confirmed - I hope so, we've only been nagging them about it for three or four years now.

Hope Ingrid and the kids are OK. Drop me an email any tme, I'm still on the same address as before.
