3 reasons not to finish north road ride

1. I set my alarm to 5:30 rather then 4:30 - Ash
2. I have a sore throat - Andy (probably from a lack pain numbing scotch - Michael)
3. Flat tire just after the Mordialloc round about - Michael. That makes it the 7th north road ride in a row where I have not managed to finish in the bunch.

Maybe my reason is lack of kilometers ridden per week. Looking back a year for the Month of August, there has been a 28% decrease in the 2006 810km August distance to the 2007 580km distance.
