Its because we chat to each other and it's mostly updates about the races..occasionally @Patchelicious wraps me on the knuckles when I post without thinking first.[emoji23]

 

I would have thought the guys on the ladies thread would've had more post counts.

cause  Vettie has been doing alot of training and not posting as much.

 

and from the tone of his comments on wanting a top 30, he might not be posting much in the new year, except on the Munga thread of course
