3:28, didn't see who by. Sydney City? Some old codgers I guess.
I had reckoned on a few teams going close to 3:30 from what I'd seen over the last couple of weeks, but only two got near that. Looked like the rest targetted last year's time of 3:36.

if it doesnt work (which I suspect it wont) type 84003 into the search box, then click the hybrid view.
As you can see there is a lake and quite a few hills just out of town

You let a doctor near you with a sharp or pointy thing? That's just asking for trouble. Hope all is good when the results come in.
Well done on picking up the prime, too.

Yep, I wasn't happy about it but I think it had to be done and I did a lot of research before making the final decision.
The race yesty was bazaar. With about 2 laps to go we heard a whistle which I was sure was for 'E' grade in front of us. Next lap, some break-away 'E' graders were on the front of us again and got the bell. There was confusion in our grade and a sprint ensued which I and most of the group missed. I was flabigastered and pi$$ed off but strange things do happen and so I, along with all but two riders, quit thinking the race was over,. However two of the guys kept going, got the whistle next time around, then the bell and got first and second, no other places were contested cause the rest of us were all spectators.
Lesson No. 2,658,989; The race aint over till it's fargn over.

Les Murray is a bit of a pantsman, he likes his girls Dutch.
first it was Mieke "I have better calves than 95% of Protour riders" Buchan, some thought her harsh bone structure made her look like a transvestite, but I thought she was blessed with the extra testosterone for the best ever set of female's calves outside an olympics athletics meet.
next came Stefanie Brantz, the mother with no ankles, but a dutch girl next door look.

Personally, give me Tomalaris.

Give me Stephanie Brantz over Mieke any day of the week. How come they always played that 'Crying Game' song when Mieke was hosting?
I also liked the mediterranian looking one as well, the woman that is no longer on World Sports. What was her name?
BTW, I wouldn't know what a trannie looks like, I'm from the country! You big city people and your strange ways, I dunno!!

And classic1, the extra testosterone that provided her with the bone structure went into her calves aka COWS not a schloeng. I think you have calves envy, I wonder what Freud would have to say about that?

right rear. smashed one this morning. Their surprisingly strong, but my 105 lever poked a triangular section out. I guess I was lucky to have hit the lights and not the bodywork. panel beaters are exxy.
