Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Rain starting to build ahead of the main bit of weather. Looks like it's just going to clip gosford late afternoon. On the bright side, it doesn't look like there's much rain behind it, just a few scattered bits of light stuff. Main problem will be rivers of overflow crossing the track. Bring a broom!

Sorry. Perhaps you could go back and edit it to something that conveys the sentiment, without anything that makes me look like I'm turning a blind eye to minor digressions.

Much better. If other people didn't push it so far, the little things wouldn't be a big deal. You could just put farkin and whinger in there and it would have been fine.

Yeah I need to work out sizes, how u fixed on thursday night?

I'm looking at around $1000 for the F&F's so the Gitanes are out of my price league!
