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

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.

Fark! that were I ride after work some nights.

I think there has been a few incidents like this one in that area in recent years.

I used to rock climb on a bridge near there and they blocked it all off because some guy was dead on one of the foot bridges.. Dunno it it was a shooting or what.

Yeah, but NORBA is dead. Being big in the US means there's at least 20 Euros, Poms, Canucks and Aussies ahead of you on the world stage You think Kabush would fair well against Absalom or Sauser and the like? I don't think I've ever seen him race against those guys.

Yay Rosara Joseph - smart (Rhodes scholar,) cute and a handy rider.

And Gordy had a blinder in the TT the other day as well in case I never mentioned it.

As for the kiwis on the piss, it's been passed off as a storm in a teacup, or as a local radio station tells it "4 gold medals and 1 golden shower". Alcohol and sports people has never been the best combination, ask the locals of Coffs Harbour

He's still a minute and a half behind Oli who won silver, so going by that logic he should've been battling it out with Jongewaard. (Not that there's any logic involved in this type of comparrison, but what the heck).

Ah, that Arete Ti I showed off yesterday just left the den, fellas. Sad to see her go, would've been nice to keep that one for myself.
