At least u showed up, How did u go Jock?

I had a quick spin on Sunday arvo and my legs/back are aching.
Climbo, whens the bike-fit night at your/my place? I'll bring refreshments, you bring expertise. Only need fiited to the roady... oh and the track bike.... oh and the mtb..

Got the worst sciatic type pain runnin down my lower back thru my ass cheek into my left hammy

Been getting progressivly worse but yesterday was not good.

Morning chaps. Seasons greetings to all. Haven't be around much due to work pressures...bugger!

Just wanted to share a break through from yesterday. I took the training wheels off the sons bike yesterday (he's 5) and after a few hickups he was riding up and down the driveway by himself. He was chuffed, as was his old man. When I tucked him in last night before I went to bed, I found hime wearing his clothes to bed and when I woke him to get him changed into his jarmies, he was adament that he wanted to stay in his clothes so he could wake up and ride his bike straight away.

No pressure from me, but I think I have a future world champion in the family!

Congrats, you might want to start him on the weights, heavy squats I think
& make sure he gets enough sodium!

yeah, just paid another $7 towards Phil's Commonwealth games funding.

Coffee ride Sat am in the thunder storms also, not a great weekend on the bike.

Bike fit? 2006.

Thanks for that. I'm not so sure about the squats cause I was thinking that I wanted him to follow Lance. Good hillclimber/time trialer. Do you think it's too early to start him on EPO yet?

Early 2006? nice!

I thought the coffee ride would be off given the weather. That and the gut full of beer I had when I woke up!

Hey Jocko. Just talking to a fella I know who's doing the Alpine this year. He was saying that he had to get accomodation in a town 20km away because all the accomodation closer to Bright's already booked out. Have you sorted out your accomodation yet? Some friends I'm going with were supposed to do it for us, but they've left it a bit long and I don't think they've found anything yet. We might be camping in a paddock the way we're going.

don't knock the camping!! Somehow I managed to lure a tidy young Swiss bird back to the tent at the Bright Caravan Park on a training camp one year after convincing her I was the next Tony Rominger....

Tent canvas is not very soundproof.....

I'm riding from Bathurst to Narabeen on Thursday. I'll be coming down the M4, so I might see if I can take a run on the M7 to have a look.

Not that you cared.

About the only way I could convince a bird I was something special with cycling would be if I conned them into think I was Marco Pantani risen from the grave, who's been on a diet of smokes and beers in the intervening years.

All that skiing gives those birds freakishly strong thighs....

Oh the imagery! Talk about the beast with two backs!

That's it, bro.

Ed doing his best for international relations between our two great countries by making the sound of the fat nun clapping......

Don't make me laugh at work ed.

he he!!


One day I'll tell you blokes abotu the black South African girl I met on the Great Vic Bike Ride.


Magnficent.

Ed, no wonder you never made it to the Tour...

Well here's the thing Sacman: my wife's coming. Sure the cabin I got can house 5 or 6, but with the missus and I getting our first break from the younguns in 5 years I've had to place a cap on numbers (at just 2)

What, you wanna make another?

If 'another' appears it could one mean one of two things Expat: immaculate conception or a trip to the divorce courts to explain some things

Not a peep from us! Honest injuns!

Nah, just wondering how you were going. Should have known you wouldn't be as disorganised as us.

ok, hands up who wishes they were the young Ed once in a while?

You do spend too much time in the saddle, don't you? Oh, wait! You had a doctor turn off the plumbing? My bad.

Oh dear. As if i would let any doctor go near the nads with anything sharper than a female tongue.

What I wanna know is how did the swiss miss know who in faarks name the real Tomy Romminger was.

Oh, so when he pulled the 2nd kid out, you has him shut off her plumbing? Or do you just spend too much time in the saddle?
