And presumably there isn't a single bit of hard surface in the whole area on which he can skateboard. And of course, skate boarding and surfing are instantly transferable skills 🤦‍♂️

Indeed. The local radio station reported it as someone went to a lot of trouble to disrupt this race. What things have you went to a lot of trouble for? Obviously paraphrasing a bit. I’m like ffs.

Although this is a marked course event, arrows can be tampered with, so a good understanding of the route is advisable.

Except you now have to pay to see those adverts whereas at the beginning they were free. That's what happens when we let the caliber of contestants from The Apprentice manage TV and marketing 🤔
