This is an awesome event, superbly ran and you can't get any better support for a road cycling event than having it supported by SAPOL. The cause is also one that in this case, affected a SAPOL member, but is common enough to have affected people we know so what better way to raise the support of cancer than to participate in this event.
It was a great day when it was held this year and it sounds better next year, and what more it starts and finishes in the city, so you won't be able to miss the first day of the TDU.

I've known Crazy personally for 20 years. Great bloke; great cause; and what a cracker of a route to ride! I've registered for the full-ride and my two sons, aged 14 and 11, have registered for the shorter 53 clicks starting at Woodside.
See you on the road.

I know this will be another fantastic day out. Last year was memorable and great to see 'Scutcho' running it again - I know with the the big man at the helm it will be a smoothly run operation. You don't need a better excuse to get out on the bike to prepare for the ride than this! (Maybe even convince the missus a new bike is in order!).
Good to see the name retained and SAPOL getting behind this community event. Great thing is even a battler like me on my bike that weighs about 28 kg can get through it - encourage one and all to join in folks!

C'mon guys and girls, lets get behind RLC 2010. Next year's route is one that we all ride commonly I'm sure, and a great way to kick off an awesome week of cycling. Take a look at the RLC website andI'm sure you'll agree that it promises to be an exciting ride.

Hi all,
I just did the course this morning minus the 20km loop to Littlehampton & Woodside. I must say it was thoroughly enjoyable, one of the best courses I've ridden for a while. For those of you whom this is your first year of riding it's a perfect introduction to long distance hill climbing (as is the case for my riding buddy). For those who are mountain goats, this is a chance to get a 30km/hr+ average. The ascents are gradual & quick, perfect for mixing it up with big gears.
I will be doing it, no doubt, it's the perfect lead-up to the TDU.
My congrats to the planning team, job well done.

Good work guys!
Rode this event last year after being asked to by good mates who worked with 'Crazy' to join in. Not being a Police Officer myself made no difference on the day. These guys were all fantastic and great to ride with and was an amazing feeling to participate for such a good cause. Some of the old war stories from the older guys made for some hilarious moments while riding too.
Have had my own bout with the dreaded C this year too at tender age of 28 with radiation treatment and so on and only hits home the reality of this disease even more. GET ON IT PEOPLE and sign up! This years course is going to be great and there is no better cause when this stuff can and sadly will affect lots of people we know. Been talking with Scutch a fair bit about this years event and my ugly mug looks like it will even be appearing on ACA shortly to give a bit of a spiel on the ride.
Sign up everyone! It's a great day and as said above it's a tops way to begin a great week of cycling.

Gary,
Full remission mate. Found out couple weeks ago. Final MRI's and CT's were clear as a bell so a few surgeries & Radiation did it's job. Bloody stoked. Not easy but made it.
Looking fwd to the RLC. Should be awesome.
I have no idea what the hell I was saying on ACA so literally anything could end up on the TV haha. I remember almost nothing of what I talked about I was that nervous. Oh well. Gave it a shot which is all that matters I suppose at times like these. Worthy cause and all. If you see me out on the road don't laugh too hard ha!

Do you fancy being picked up from your home in a private hire car, flying in an Australian Helicopters helicopter to McLarens On the Lake restaurant and indulging a spectacular lunch before being returned to your home?
If flying isn’t your style, what about a return Sealink ferry trip for 2 Adults, 2 Children and 1 standard vehicle to Kangaroo Island?
If travelling by boat is too relaxing, perhaps a 12 month health club membership at the Adelaide Aquatic Centre is more for you?
The good news is that every registered rider and supporter will have a chance to win these prizes.
Remember to register by November 30 to receive a FREE Ride Like Crazy Jersey or polo shirt.
More details out soon……..

Brett, that's really great news for you mate.
I missed most of ACA tonight; I got home late and was in the kitchen talking to my missus when one of my kids said "Hey, there's something on TV about cycling." I only caught the last 30 seconds of the story, so I'm a bit ****ed off with myself.
I won't be laughing at you mate because I am the epitome of the 'reverse attack', especially when those roads go upwards!

Brett thought you did a real good job on ACA, you didn't look nervous at all and even better news about the cancer. Well done mate and see you and everyone else in January!

Reverse Attack? haha! Never heard that. I like it.
Was a good story last night. Sad of course but was great to see footage from this years ride. Can't wait to get on it again next year. Have been rounding up people at my work so with any luck if plenty of people are doing the same it should be a huge one in 2010.
Got 9 weeks or so to get some sort of fitness back now so better get to it!
RLC!!!

It is with deep regret and a lot of sadness that I announce the passing of Mick "Crazy" Koerner this morning after a strong and courageous fight against cancer.
He will be deeply missed by his family, friends and work colleagues.
I am confident in speaking on behalf of his wife Jody and family that they are extremely grateful for the support that they have received since he received the terrible news over 13 months ago.

Hey all.
Sad news about "CRAZY".
To be honest I never met Mick but after completing the 09 event and talking with some of his mates I was quite moved when I heard the news.
09 was an awesome event, could not fault it.. The feeling of crossing the finish line was completely different to just a regular hard ride. There was plenty of time during the ride to just think about "Crazy's" story and how this disease can strike anyone.
Its time to pull your finger out and get on board. Lets all make RLC 2010 one to remember. I cant think of a reason not to sign up so get on it.

Harley,
I don't see what you posted - maybe some moderator deleted it - but I presume you advocated "alternative" treatments for cancer. While your raw vegan diet probably reduces the risk of some kinds of cancer, extreme diets and other alternative treatments for the disease are ineffective, despite the anecdotes their proponents trot out.
Yes, chemo, radio and surgery are tough to endure, and often fail, but they're the best attacks we have so far. Many people have died as a result of skipping them for the alternative crap.
