Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

13 or 14 CCCC riders went up. Silver to Aaron in the juniors, gold to Matty Brown in the Elites, Masters2&3 clean sweep: gold Grant Fraser, silver Troy McDonald, bronze yours truly, 4th Brad Craft. Didn't hear all the results for Masters 4&5 but I know Ray van Schie picked up 4th and the Rev 5th.

Excellent fun

I think they're trying to incorporate those new super DVD drives (BluRay) into the PS3.

did you see that stack on the freeway near the entrance turnoff? nasty!

i may have seen you up there, what were you wearing? were you riding with anyone? i was on a Cannondale Rush, crossmax wheels etc. wearing turramurra kit.
I was one of the idiots who took up all the parking spots way before the racing started
Wearing a Bikeworx jersey and riding an orange Klein.
Oh & I managed to tear the bladder on my camelbak filling it up, didnt feel to bad as it's ancient. Pulled out a brand new spare and it leaked as well

from what i read yes its blu ray equiped. what a waste of money that technoology will be, anti copying which im sure will work for all of 30 minutes till somone cracks it, much like the vaunted black / blue coloured disks that came with previous playstations. i dont think blu ray is causing the delay tho...

hmmm didnt see you PSHAW, well i mite have, but the bike doesnt stick out. there was a guy parked further up the hill that i thought may have been you.

Mrs Ed works at Myer....to say they have been disappointed with pre-orders is an understatement considering the commitment they gave Microsoft.

Farken 'ell.

normal pro workload. It'd be nice to eat, train, get massage, eat some more, sleep and get paid for it.

Robbie and Henk both did 4 000km Decembers beofre this year's bay crits/nationals.

Only Microsoft product I have is Office, and I only have that so that the minions can send me sh¡thouse Word and Excel files.

Making a 'commitment' to Microsoft? Bend over, please.

Anyway, now, let me scroll back here.....1000km weeks...get a life.....racing....blah blah......

Not really......just a bit over endless threads about "Which bike is better?", "Who makes good shoes?", "Who will you follow now Lance has retired?"
