It's a his/hers bike, but that would do some damage to anyone, concave or convex.

Well, contrary to popular belief, it was not Paul's sister. 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

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

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.

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!
