...unfortunately I can't edit my list now.

Unfortunate collateral damage after a a bigger problem was addressed I'm afraid. Best cure would be for people posting new events to copy/paste previous posts, dropping completed events as they go.

So far I've entered the 140km Rainforest Ride & Arthurs Seat ride and trying to enter Hotham challenge (200km) once I work out how to put in the promo code :S. Agree - Gran Fondo looks good - but prefer more climbing . Also trying to organize an informal ride for Mt Macedon on Feb 16 or 17: viewtopic.php?f=14&t=60922
