yes, HDT got beaten by a young fella going up to C grade next week, so 2nd was not too shabby for his first outing up at Calga. Must be all the MTB training :)
|
was good fun, but i need to learn how to follow a wheel!! have spoken to a racer at work and got some tips, still, 3rd group ride i guess it wasnt too bad, but having to get back on he group at least 3 times burnt a lot of matches. if i could have stayed on i could have attacked a lot more, which is what i plan to do next time.
thanks for the training program climbo, those days when im doing intervals on the trainer and nearly passing out seem to be paying off ;) |

Anyway to cut a long story long, I dropped into the local IGA tonight and the dude brought out an 8 pack of a never before seen Tooheys Premium Dry. You won't find it on the lion-nathan website, and not even google knows about it. It's supposed to be smoother across the tongue than Extra Dry, but here's the kicker: the label on the neck of the bottle reads 6.5%. That's the equivalent of longwall mining your last few remaining briancells out. Think Elephant Beer and you'll be on the right track IGA reckons an 8 pack will sell for about $20, which makes it only slightly more exxy than extra dry which seems to have found itself in the boutique brews section of most liquor shops even though it's probably just tooheys new cold filtered and dressed up in a clear bottle. Look for it in you IGA store some time in June. Look for 17yo kids and unsuspecting yanks passed out on your front lawn about the same time. :D Have fun. On another topic, I have had the best Thylacine week so far, and am in the process of doing THREE bikes at the same time, two of with are TITANIUM!!!!!! :D :D :D :D I'm a happy chappy. |
Tooheys Extra dry is favoured by young drinkers because its soft drink properties. Extra dry is a very bubbly beer allowing new beer drinkers and teenagers alike to get easily sloshed on beer.
However as these drinkers get older and figure out this beer tastes bad, but having started off on a beer that is better tasting than vic or new, they tend to move onto the "premium" beers like coopers pale ale, becks, stella artois etc. |
Coopers Sparkling Ale is 5.8%, but even that'll get you pretty happy pretty quickly :D That plus being the best beer brewed in Oz makes for good drinking in my book.

I love how this thread regularly returns to a beer theme!

Wine tastes like crushed grapes to me :p

I' quite happy to drink nice wine, especially if it came from the father-in-law's wine cellar & i didn't have to pay for it! :)

It's only about 14 bucks for a sixer *Waits for Exy to chime in about how you can buy beer at the 711 over there and that it's cheaper than milk* (and tastes like it, too)

Patty, USD8 for a sixer of Coopers is a cracking deal. Kewl, I'll have something to drink if I can convince Shewhomubo I need to go to Interbike this year. :beer: Hey, anyone had Hargreaves Hill Pale ale (Yarra Valley), Red Hill anything (Red Hill) or Scharers Lager (Picton, NSW)? Three absolutely crackin' beers. |
Still doin my bit to pimp Thylo's gear. Although I'd do a better job of it if I'd get a nice custom steel HT for nix. ;)

Makes a silk purse out of all of us sows ears. Probably the only thing that got me over the line was that jersey, such is the inspiration it gives! (Do I get my new frame yet?)
Thylo honoured the warranty on your jersey yet jock? |

http://www.pixelpics.smugmug.com/photos/68451324-O.jpg Interbike is at the end of September.....and why didn't people tell me the last time I was there that drinks were free? I think I spent 200 bucks one night just gettin on the wallop (Thank YOU .48 exchange rate). Must also remember to bring ID to the clubs, too. "Do I look under 21 to you mate?" doesn't appear to work like it does here. |

Speaking of beer, these dudes just won best beer in Australia.
http://www.redoak.com.au/ Beer aged in oak? Apparently. Yeah, I have a couple of jerseys left. Looks like there's a medium in there. No plans for a 'crash replacement' policy on the jerseys, Fockers cost too damn much. |
