another dutchie gets 'adopted'

PS Rob Adams, of MCC design fame, got one too. Almost singlehandedly has transformed Melbourne over the last 5-10 years; a true leg-end

Old Papa's: best group ride in Australia handsdown.

Old Henk was still getting out on this up until 2005 when he got sick. Even at 60 odd he could still mix it up in the sprint down at Leighton Beach.

This NRR shambles and the Hell Ride have got nothing on it
