congrats jock, good to see you back in the saddle! 6 weeks will kinda do that to you...

so can we expect to see you up at calga any time soon?

Have a great night, and no fightin with the other half.

Let em know about it when the Socceroos score/win for sure. Rub it in real hard.

...but no fightin. Unless there's jelly involved, your both female, and your have a spec webstream :D

Hell no! That would mean delivering the pump. It become like a fourth child to me

well id hate to tear my pump away from the boosom of its loving family.....

I tried to phone in my order for the Sidis and got told they were sold out.... so I placed an order on the web anyway cause they were still advertised....and just got confirmation thay are on their way :)

You leave my man-boobs out of this!! :mad:





:roflmao:

Do you realise that this pump idea/saga was conceived on the 4th of January!!!

Jock, how was the ride? Hows the gimpy wing?

Your not so good with techology are you. That why you work for HP

I don't have a gimpy wing. I have two gimpy wings (now) that cancel each other out and actually make me more aerodynamic (ie. they slope more downward that they used to)

Pinkie doesn't like rough tar and throw road surfaces, but it's gonna hafta get used to it.

well it's out. Girl #2 came today at 4:42pm, 3.5 kgs and gorgeous !! No name yet. Later fellas....

I needed my strine dictionary for that one. I may send HD another pump by boat - might be quicker.

from today's RBR newsletter:

Shimano Corporation is recalling about 5,000 front quick-release skewers. Shimano says that after the QR is locked into position, the skewer could spontaneously break. Silver-colored QR skewers purchased or received after Nov. 1, 2005, are affected. Not being recalled are black skewers or those that have a small round sticker on the back of the lever. The recall affects Shimano 105, Ultegra, Dura-Ace, XT and XTR hubs, and Dura-Ace front wheels, including some Sport Dynamo hubs. According to the trade publication Bicycle Retailer and Industry News, Shimano will send a letter to retailers by May 31 with plans for replacing affected front skewers. Check with a Shimano dealer then if you have a suspect QR. In the meantime, stop riding with it[

Australia v Greece at the G match report. Crowd of 95K, interesting game, not just defence or keepings off. Flares were thrown & lit in the stands so it felt like a real soccer game and two pitch invaders made tools of the fat donut cops at the end of the match. :D

All in all a good nite. :)

also the Matildas came from behind to beat the Mexican chicks 2-1 in the warm-up match.

Congratulations climbo (and Mrs climbo!). Another cycling superstar is born

Hey 531, is size 43 the size you just bought, or the size you have that doesn't fit?


Edit: And a big congrats to the climbo family on the new arrival, too!! :beer:

congrats climbo. seeing as its early (?) i expect to see you down at ourimbah on saturday!! :p

Congrats Climbo :beer:

Congratulations Climbo!!

Ed073, I think you mentioned the book "A Pieper's Tale" a while ago & said that you couldn't get your hands an a copy.....

Don't know if you have managed to get a copy yet but I just read on another forum that Melbourne Sports Books in Flinders St has it in stock.

Congrats Climbo! Do it fer ya country! :D

Jock - how did you pull up today after your 1st rid ein 6 weeks? any soreness?

how long do you think it will take you to get back on form?

gawd some ****** drivers around. Two cars got in the way of an ambulance at one set of lights today. I couldnt believe it.

Pulled up fine. No muscle soreness, but then i wasn't thrashing yesterday just putting in the miles. Bit of kneecap pain which I didn't expect, but that's easy to control and gives me an excuse to avoid those horrible hill-things for a bit.

Back to form in 3-6 weeks depending on how quickly I can shed the weight so I can get back into tougher training. I can't do a lot yet anyways coz the shoulder muscles are all clapped out and the break isn't completely knitted, so hard standing starts and savage hocking are out of the question for another 3-4 weeks.

I'll drop in and race at Calga in a few weeks time to get a feel for what needs to be done. No point ATM because I descend like a B grader and climb like an E grader on mandrax.

Yeah, and for the money!

Congrats to you and the missus.

Meh, ya cranky old bugger, dont see you chaztizing HD for asking how you are feeling ;)
Prefferenshal treatment I tells ye.....

So, Tuesday for my first commute? when do we set off?
