Scores Updated

as far as I can see - Tuesday rides are falling apart !! I havent missed one even though I have been out for two weeks ?

Anyway....latest update shows a number of people getting to the 10 ride mark !!
Missile / Labrico / Dopey...

Missile gets two points for the quiz ....yay me...

Boum Boum gets 3 trail building points - those that havent seen it....shame....

Dopey was rather generous in his points for Labrico ride so with all of the above + hosting Labrico gets 7 points for his last host.....

So Labrico is in the lead !!!
Missile Second (??)
Dopey third - how does it feel for once...not being first ???!!!
