Brown and McGee out of Paris Nice, other Aussies didn't fair too well on the hilly stage 3, although Alan Davis did pick off the first sprint.

Drinking and eating - the two best events of the games

Dude, I think I'm just going to stick to this thread and the Framebuilders section. Have you seen the road bike section recently? It's coma inducing.

Im not so sure about how easy it will be to crack the ps3/xbox360. No one as yet has cracked the 360 and its been out for a while (remember with the first one they cracked it in about a week). HDCP has already been hacked from a hardware side, but this time, the manufactures are fighting it by suing the people who did it, since they can threaten you with the DMCA.
But enough of that style crap, how was everyone's cycling today? Mine was good, except for some wind on the way home

Need to remember there is 300 odd million of them over there, bound to be a few loose screws.

Bendigo Madison this weekend
I'll be spending the weekend drunk watching bike races and making a general nuisance of myself in various public houses. Life's great. Can't wait.

Cool send it to info@thylacinecycles.com! 
Who's bagging out on the Ellsworths? Sure, they used to impode on a regular basis (disc tabs sheering the seatstays off, Seat tubes popping like it's New Years....take your pick) but apparently they've got them sorted now. Best of all, they've moved production inhouse which is a brave move when every other sh¡t company is running off to China.
