Meh, you don't need lights. I rode half a lap of the Melbourne 12 hour enduro with no lights. It was my fastest lap, I kid you not.

You're right though, lights are INSANELY expensive, and I'm not looking forward to the end of daylight savings (although I should, because I'm farken unstopable at night).

Might end up swinging some Nightlightning lights from NZ. Nice blend of 'high tech' and 'garage'.

Thanks for the help guys. Are we all ready to cheer Sid Taberlay to gold at 2?

HDTVKSS 03-22-06 08:57 PM

Geoff Kahbush will be fastest by far. Sid to pick up the scraps. If chis Joegenward is racing he dbe a good choice as well as his form seems really good at the moment.

Do the Melbourne gangbangers ride bikes these days?

---------------------------------

POLICE have called for witnesses to a shooting on a popular bike trail in Melbourne's north-east.

Victoria police have said a woman was shot while riding her bicycle on a popular suburban trail at 9:30am on Tuesday morning.
The woman was riding north along a foot bridge over Merri Creek near the Rushall railway station when she was hit in the chest by a single gun shot.

The woman was treated in hospital for her injuries.

One lap to go, McGrath for the win.

Jongewaard is too big for an endurance rider. That's why the other runtboys have blown past him in the final laps.
