Tour de Cure Reaps Benefits From Over Zealous Soccer Dads

Over zealous competitive Dad's betting on Ben Lo's and Lachlan Heath's soccer game results in a $100 donation to Tour de Cure... & coughed up by Mal Heath.... <>

OK, Loey, being a good dad, was at the match and therefore had the advantage over me in having inside information on pitch reports, injury lists, team compositions, player positions, game strategy and coaches' analyses, not to mention conditioning information from the players' trainers (forwards and backs), and the Clubs' physiotherapists and sports psychologists. (Hey, Ben and Lach are playing in U7's and it's lower north shore soccer comp we're talking about here....it's very serious) And me? Well I confess to being on a ferry from Ettalong - Palm Beach, clocking up another 140km of training with the Unit (Gary Holland), the man back from the deal bunker, Garren Cronin, and the 2007 Pink Jersey winner, (for Support) Josh McBride....

Geoff Cougar Coombes was to be with us but broke down at Road Warriors with some serious mechanical troubles, and has now added his bike to the ever growing collection of Tour de Cure riders' bikes for repair at KOM.

Oops!! and just how did this picture of my daughter Olivia shaking hands with YOU KNOW WHO get into this blog? (Sub editor's fault, probably) And isn't that Josh Lo looking on in the foreground?
