Re: October CTC - 3,861 metres

Great rowing everyone! Just two more people to float the last boat! Had my second go tonight. Just have to say that I fixated my back in the middle of August, so there has been less rowing than usual(and far less then wanted :evil: ). BUT, there has been spinning sessions and a lot of roller skiing!...

Re: October 2013 - celebrating the life of Gaye McOnie

It was great to take part in the row Saturday 19th as a tribute to Gaye. I had the privilege to meet Gaye in Boston and to meet Dave again in Madchester last year. Really nice picture there Anne. Fabulous to see you all four there, four good friends. I got Cathrine with me on the row, and Olaf as we...

Re: October 2013 - celebrating the life of Gaye McOnie

Please put me and Cathrine in ! I also met Gaye at the Crash-B's, and it would be an honour to row the challenge and the metres in her memory.

Re: Happy Birthday Odd

Thanks a lot!

I had a great day, even though Cathrine came home late from work as usual :shock: But there was a cake and a superb glass of XO cognac :fsbgrin:

And thanks to Alan for presenting my favourite birthday song.

But starting to feel a bit old….?

Re: May CTC: 5555m

Second attempt already on this month’s CTC :roll: ! The first go was mostly for getting started after a winter with less rowing and a period with more xc-skiing. With ave 1.49.5 the first time, the goal was to get under 20 mins and 1.47.9 ave. And I hope to do 1 or 2 more attempts as TT’s. Yesterday...
