William turns 40

William turned 40 on October the 7th. One of the Cairns Family traditions is a sporting challenge between the four brothers on important birthdays, so William challenged his brothers to a mountain bike race, of course the whole of the AR team was also invited.

The day after the birthday was the weekly Dark and Dirty in which much not-cake was eaten.

William and Team Lickety Split entered the Dirt Festival 40km Race, while only one of William’s brothers (Pete) managed to enter the 20km race. William’s cousin Patrick also entered the 20km race. William’s average speed for the 40km race was 18km/h, Pete only managed a measly 13.3km per hour for the 20km, clearly putting William as the winner of the challenge....

After the cycle race everyone went to William’s house for lunch. A different sort of not-cake was enjoyed by everyone. Promise – the not-cake recipe will be posted sometime....
