Only eggs I'm interested in are chocolate, and are laid by a chocolate rabbit. And that - my friends - is the story of Jesus.

Just thank your lucky stars you don't live in Norway, where easter is celebrated with the reading of murder-mysteries. WTF?

Congrats HDT (ya silly bugger!)
If you passed the guy at about 10:30/11:00am then no. I passed a guy in cccc kit about 3km before the Gosford exit at about 11:20 and it looked like Phil Campbell.
All the rest of us were out on the Aust Masters Road Course with some guys Hunter Districts CC up until 11:00am. Bit of an eye opener. Tough course with just enough in it to give the hill climbers a bit of an edge. Sprinters will have to hope that the strong men can tow them along and keep them in touch with the weight weenies.

Congrats HDT!
I must warn you though that now is the time to buy your unobtanium dream bikes before the cycling budget comes under the control of "she who must be obeyed"
I am the owner of a set of very tired legs this arvo. Good thing I mowed the lawns and dug the garden yesterday. This morning's ride started out as the standard Sat morning 70-90km gallop with the boys, but ended up being a 130km epic over rolling hills. I had to stop at a bakery on the way home and scoff down a large quantity of sugary baked goods as my one banana I started with just wasn't cutting it.

hmm i think I saw one last night. But I barely looked at it because it was stupidly undervalued.

this is a very minor ebay thingy....
I once bought a new frame that I didn't like, and after riding it for a month I swaped it at a shop for another (MUCH CHEAPER!!
) frame. A few weeks later I saw the frame on Ebay, accompanied with such comments as, "this frame has never been completely built up and never ridden"

yeah ebay is pretty dodgy like that. Especially atm everything is a bit overpriced. I wouldnt call your experience minor though. The person who bought it got ripped off

Hit a pothole as 60kmh this morning and I knew straight away that the hidieous cracking sound from under my nose could mean only one thing: cracked carbon forks. 3" vertical split from the shoulder of the left blade.
went straight to the LBS who reckons $230 is a fair thing for some new ones. GACK!

Bluddy hell jock, lucky you didn't end up a 3" vertical split in you.
The last of those auctions finished this morning with 4 bids!! Then it disappeared.
I'd emailed eBay about it too.
This one:
Flecha's Fassa Bortolo Pinarello Dogma Team Bike
Current Price: AU $800.00
Congrats to HDT as well. 62vette is right... spend, and spend big.
