Eleven hearty soles showed to brave the elements and a tough route for the Amherst Gold Ride Spring Classic 2006. "Well we looked all over two bloody counties for those stinking eggs and all we found was some sand, gravel and chunks of wire to poke and prod at our 23c’s (or- 38’s on Gianni’s ride)."
