Well, contrary to popular belief, it was not Paul's sister. :D Dunno exactly. It may have been as simple as a dry patch that got irritated, and I may have scratched it in my sleep. It was raised, lumpy, red, and a bit angry on the edges.

I'm not one to take chances with things like that, and when I realized that one thing or another had been in that spot for at least a couple of months, I booked in at the Skin Cancer Clinic. The took a chunk of me to send to the lab, and checked out all the other little questionable spots I had.

Better to be on the safe side. And always wear your sunblock.

Cheers everyone

Is it anything like the one that goes:

What's hairy and hangs out your pyjamas?






Your Mum!

Damn! There goes that $20

Jeez, and I was being nice :rolleyes:

I attached a pic of GKW from the fling...

Classic :)

the dude that won the Fling is going to ride with Jittery Joe's on the road in 2006. Him and Willo have joined.

Only if your a kiwi, and she makes funny sheep voices whilts pedelling down the road on a MTB backwards

geez, you go away up the coast for a week, come back and all hells broken loose here!

so what happend with the fling? probably allready been covered in part 3....

Scots/Aussie/Kiwi discussing sheep preferences.

Scotsman says he puts their fleece on the barbed wire fence, so they cant run away.
Aussie says he puts their back legs down his gumboots, so they cant run away.
Kiwi guy says he just rolls them on their back, so he can kiss them :roflmao:

iv always wanted to post in the aussie thread

So was that a big thrill? :D

Ah, see we breed much more compliant sheep here :D

BTW, I have a room to rent in 2011 for RWC test matches - $100 per night for Pommies, Scotsmen and Paddies; $500 per night for any Antipodeans whose union voted for Japan on Thursday :p

Ungh, remind me never to go mtbing with fit bastards. I hurt in places I didn't even know I had.

Pulled 4hrs out at Lysterfield on Satdee. There were actually other mountainbikers out there! *gasp*. It was funny running into three guys who all rode Specializeds....but then I realised half our group were on Thylacines, so I guess that means we're ******s too.

Quitely impressed we're on Part 4 fellas. Soon we'll be rivalling Seinfeld.

Part IV!!

Impressive steaming pile, lads.

Keep it up.

did a 4 hour enduro MTB race out at western sydney on saturday. 6 laps and 50 odd kays later i have one hell of a sore back . damn camel back :( tweaked my back on the 1st climb in the 2nd lap and was looking for somewhere to ditch the back pack however the fact that it contained my wallet, keys and mobile didnt make it a good idea!

was a great day but wish i could walk properly today!

How's the assos? :D
What was the race? firetrails or singletrack?

the assos is fine, but my shorts / the seat on the cannondale i was borrowing didnt do the boys at the front too many favours! esp the 2nd lap, it was a b it of murder. thankfully the discomfort eased up. ironicly i had plenty left in the legs at the end ( besides the cramping) but my triceps, back and hands ( i have at least 3 blisters on both hands) called enough!

its a mix of singletrack and fire road, probably 70% singletrack and one of the more technical courses in NSW.

Rode a century on saturday, up and down hills, into the wind, hottest it got was 35deg,well thats my excuse for taking 3hs 40 min. :)

Did my first crit for a good while without back pain last nite! (and got a third :D) The on going adjustments I've been making to my position to get me more aero finally ganged up on me and lower back pain has been my norm on the GT for about six weeks now, bugga. Been riding my Orbea for a week as it's more comfy. If the thing was only 2kilos lighter...... Bloody good bike though even at 10k.

Now I gotta sort out the GT :(

ordered me a nice new cannondale rush mountain bike yesterday. pick it up on sat, v excited :D

Lucky you. I'm doing three Thylacines so far next month, busiest Thyla-month ever. Welcome to Club Excited.

I've got my eye on a Dahon folder on ebay. 16" wheels!

acually when the time comes in the not too distant future, id like to have a chat about a hardtail frame for myself....

How much?

1 arm, one leg, I'm sure.

not far wrong, i know some people on the inside of the business so was able to wrangle up a deal. bike is 5500, with crossmax SL's. normally same bike without crossmax's retails for 6000. so , i feel i got a decent deal out of it.

You do realize that you could have flown to LA, had a nice Mexican dinner, bought your bike, and come home the next day with about $1,000 still in your pocket?

Yeah, I know a bloke got one for $1500, with a trip to France and a unit on the gold coast :D

Smart arse.

:D :D :D :D :D
