Monthly Challenges

January Monthly Challenge –  Favourite Floof Photo

The results are in and after a hard and fast voting period, we have our January competition winners: Rocket and Bec! Seen here with the TRSA Tuesday crew at Belair, Rocket is a natural at the jump shot but isn’t a fan of the final stairs back to the railway station – we hear ya, Rocket. Special mention to Davin Natt and his mate, Jed who were a strong community favourite as well.

February Monthly Challenge – 10km Beach Runs

Our February challenge was to run or hike at least 10kms four times during the month of February on the sand at any SA beach.

The winner of this challenge was Geoff Warne.  Congratulations Geoff !!

March Monthly Challenge – Vert Challenge

Congratulations to Peter Moncrieff and Geoff Warne who were the winners of the March Monthly Challenge. Both climbed and climbed and climbed.

Peter achieved 1,722m elevation by climbing hill repeats on El Bastardo (13 of them).  Also well done to Dylan Maude who also did 13 repeats on the same hill. 

Geoff achieved 1,019m elevation on a course that included no repeats in Blackhill. 

Amazing effort both of you.

April – Trail Bingo
