d'yu get a wave?

Anyone else go to Dunc Gray yesterdee?

sure did, 3 foot sets at Wamby, steep drops, clean lines. :)

Surfed a beach break there. Can get sucky if I remember.

yep, it usually is.

I sucked. Got flogged in the scratch race. Had to qualify for the wheelrace from 125m, which might sound like a real bonus but is friggin hard werk. You're off the front all the way with absolutely no idea what pace to set and noone to chase down. Big lactate after that effort. Died in the the wheelrace from a commanding position and called it a night. All learning experience tho. Try again this Saturday :rolleyes:

Must have picked up a little virus or summint along the way coz I slept half the day yesterday and have a cracker headache and blanket of tiredness today.

On the upside there was good weather, family in the stands, my first ever push start (nothing like learning on the job :) ), and watching Nathan Seddon blitz the field in the kieren.

well i got my ass handed to me at the XC short track! let that be a lesson to NOT do 5 X 5 min intervals on te trainer in the morning before heading out to an afternoon race ! only did the trainer ride cause i figured the race would be rained out, not so! always next time....

At least you both got to ride/race.

A quick coffee morning ride (yes I did turn up) followed by a rained off Sunday Crit was the highlight of my weekend :mad:

I came over here on the promise of sunny weather, wheres my ticket I want a refund!
:p

carbon steerer tubes strike again. guy at work came in today with a nicley re arranged skin pattern on his face. 5 mins out of home warming up and the fork brike through the steerer resulting in the expected face plant and not so happy rider!

Bike was a 2 - 3 year old Giant TCR1 or 0. ouch.

that'll be going on 531aussie's list of bikes/forks not to buy :D

TOO RIGHT!! :)

I assume it was a Giant fork?

For all of you who have been missing their weekly dose of MT, you'll be pleased to know that Cycling Central will be making its way back onto your screens at 5:30pm this Sunday.

Joy.

yup was a giant fork. he was surprsingly philosophical about it, i would have been rightly pissed off!. and the guys at the bike shop wondered why i was suspect about carbon steerers on the new Rock Shoks and also why i rejected the carbon lefty for an alloy 1 on the new cannondale....

I was even reluctant to stop using steel steerers when alu ones first started appearing.

hmm.......maybe we should be swapping our forks every couple of years


There's also another show starting in Jan on ch31

Hey Ed, how long's the SEN cycling show been starting at 7 o'clock?

I missed most of the Cadel Evans interview.

What did he say about Armstrong being cranky that he (Evans) was still there with him at the end of that stage?
