Dandenong Creek
Thursday, 26 October 2017
Dandenong Creek has a very firm dividing line - south of the creek it's all happiness and rainbows, with nary a contour; cross the railway line and its STEEP. Really steep. It's very unusual to be able to avoid the north, but course setter Ian took pity on the shorter course competitors, putting half the controls on the flat - yippee! It may be the fastest run I've ever had on this map.
While the As, Bs and PWs were not so fortunate, they still had plenty of choices. Claiming victory on A this week was Paul, ahead of Matthew and Ron. B course saw Steven finish first, then Tim and Lanita. Andrew B took out C course, ahead of Asha and Edward. Carolyn cleaned up D course, followed by Murray and Ewen. Pat and the Newburys were the E course placegetters. Dave scored 63 points on PW, ahead of Mark on 59 and Ron on 57.
Overall, taking the early lead are Matthew, Paul and Rick on A course; Tim, Nick and Steven (tied) on B course; Brett, Janine and Ray on C course; Murray, Robert and me on D course; Pat on E course; and Dave, Ron and Peter K on PW.
See you next time at Blackburn North - and don't forget to buy your season tickets!
