This low key and fun 3-hour event will reuse the public areas of the recent Town and Country Metrogaine around Kingston. The appeal in the last newsletter generated a volunteer – but we could use some more help. Please contact if you can assist.

Results and the winners' route from the Arthurs Lake Aquagaine are now on-line on the RT results page. Many thanks to Simon and Karen for organising this event.

Lots of photos are being posted to the RT Facebook group.
