Okay, so it wasn't -30C and there wasn't any snow or wind, but besides those drawbacks it was a pretty successful run today. 22 brave souls ventured out this morning up the Dixie Rd Hill to do the 21.1 km on a relatively flat course. The sun was shining as we toured the countryside and passed
by the odd farm and strategically placed bathroom fixture (Thanks Rob for going above and beyond the call of nature). Even though there were problems with the Chip Timing (somebody ate all the chips), we did have some smoking finishes from some of our younger competitors. The fastest times were in the 1:40's...Congratulations. While some people set some PBs and some set some PWs, we all had a fun day with a fun group. 
Afterwards, we descended on the Fox and the Fiddle Mansion to have some hard earned breakfast. The service may not have been the fastest on record, but we passed the time catching up and meeting new people. Good times!
Congratulations to all who
came out and participated, both RiffRaff alumni and those seeking application to the order. Honourable mention goes to those people who didn't run but came out for breakfast after: you really have a grasp on what it means to be a riffraff. Thanks again to the General for providing finishing medals to all male
finishers and roses to the female finishers. It was the frosting on the cake that was a beautiful and memorable day. More pictures can be seen at Riff Raff Pictures.

Is that the Queen atop of her Throne ? RiffRaff Queen hmmmmm ?
will the wooden seat count as the ornate decoration ? Crapper Hill defiantly qualifies as the dias.
Just some thoughts
throne
n
A chair occupied by an exalted personage, such as a sovereign or bishop, on state or ceremonial occasions, often situated on a dais and sometimes having a canopy and ornate decoration.
