Dear Sir I am writing to express my extreme disappointment with your email (see below). Frankly, I find the tone offensive.To suggest that ‘Beach Road Beauties’ like myself are less worthy is clearly an opinion of extreme ignorance. I have now completed 3 Around the Bay’s via Queenscliff and I can assure you there is nothing more satisfying than 'grinding out' the last 25kms from the Sandringham Yacht Club to Melbourne with the camaraderie of a bunch of old school chums.When I read your email it caused me to eject my Birdchip muesli and red gum honey onto my crimson Burberry turtleneck.Margaret tried valiantly, but unsuccessfully, to remove the ensuing stain. Surely you do not expect me to fund a replacement sweater from my trust account?I hereby seek an apology forthwith, a replacement turtleneck and an undertaking to cease and desist from any further scurrilous correspondence. Yours faithfullySebastian P Winterbottom

Dear Mr Winterbottom On behalf of the Around the Bay Team I’d like to apologise for any offense our email may have caused.The email was written by our Marketing Director who lives north of the Yarra and believed it would appeal to his fellow hill dwellers.Regrettably, the email was accidentally sent to some of our loyal customers from south of the Yarra.I noticed you haven’t yet signed up for the 2010 Around the Bay in a Day. Therefore, I’d like to offer you:* a complimentary entry to the 210 km via Sorrento with ferry as the 210km via Queenscliff is sold out (http://www.bv.com.au/great-rides/40620/)* to pay for the dry cleaning of the Burberry turtleneck (is it cashmere?).
(Offical around the bay email)
I’d like to recall the message you received at 3:42pm titled ‘apology’. This email was private correspondence with a disgruntled rider. It was accidentally sent to a mailing list by hitting the send all button.
