CHANGED START LOCATION - Heidelberg Central, Thursday November 9
Friday, 3 November 2017
Important Notice: on Thursday November 9, the start
for the Park Street event at Heidelberg Central will be at De Winton Park,
Strasbourg Road, Rosanna. This is just a short distance south of
the published start at Rosanna Railway Station, which is currently closed for
construction works. PARK ORCHARDS - This map is one of our best kept secrets, a hidden gem tucked away in the leafy outer east just waiting to be discovered. We picked a new start location in the south part of the map, further away from the Hundred Acres, but right next to the infamous Hill. Course setter Mark gave us the option of circling the hill, or going up and over. Everyone had plenty of options, with even some D course competitors choosing to "go bush" while others stuck to the streets.
A course was won by Steven, Russell and Tim. Damian claimed B course from Stuart and Geoff. Phil, Dennis and Katherine were first back on C, while Ewen, me and David were quickest on D. Len scored 52 points on PW, ahead of Ian on 48, and Barry and Ros both on 46.
Overall, Steven has three from three on A course, Russell is second and Stephen third. Stuart leads B from Daiman and Geoff, and Dennis is ahead of Philippa and Peter L on C course. Ewen is in front of me and Pete on D course. Len is another triple winner on PW, with Barry and Ian in second and third.
See you next Thursday at Heidelberg Central - please note the change to the start location.
