I dont need to ride with hairy seppos. I rode with Simon Gerrans today. Who the fark did you train with? Pull your head in and learn to take a joke.

??? WTH - seriously. I guess I need to put more smiley faces or something in my posts. You seemed to be the one taking yourself too seriously, although I was giving you the benefit of the doubt...

edit: sorry, running on 3 hours of sleep so I'm a little grouchy...

I've had the benefit of working with several Aussies over the years, so I can sniff the jokes from the mess a little easier

Meh, I would beat you all up a 22% grade pedalling my fixed-gear backwards with one leg.

Then I'd eat all the cheeseburgers just to piss you off.

I've been doing this a long time. Too long. C. 1994, Granby RR (Granby CT). I think this was the Cat 4 race, either that or 35+, can't recall. I did get top 10, maybe top 5, again, long time ago:

No. I blame it on Barney. My daughter was terrified of that character.

How was that? I was considering riding in it, until I realized I was busy that weekend.
