Dogs can be had at Woolies and Coles. I think Woolies are 10 cents less.

Still find it amazing it comes apart like that. What keeps it together normally? I can't see any collars? I also would have though that making the join closer to the lazy buggers seat up the front (half way) would have made the packed up bike smaller?
But yeah, packing up things I love (or worse chucking them out if I don't need them anymore) when moving always makes me real sad.

Ah. So it does. I'm blind. So does it flex there?

The tubes with the couplers are actually far stiffer than straight tubing would be. No flex there. But the frame does flex. I can hold the back brake, stand on the cranks real hard, and it will visibly flex. It requires that we spin, rather than mash, but it's a very plush ride.

Why Growling dog? is it the creatine that your after? perosnly if its just an energy bar that your after i think the enervit bars are by far the best.

There are all available at woolies yeah? Nobodies recommending powerbars so I know not to get them. Might have one each of the Dog and enervit bars for dinner tonight to see which one's nicer. 
BTW, me and a mate who's doing the Alpine have this strange history where I think for 90% of the organised events we do which involve riding or running, we'll get bucketed on. Good to see we are keeping up our track record.

envervit is only availiable in bike shops, maybe rebel sport as well. Power bars are OK, but hard to chew. not good on the bike food imho.

Most bars will be rock hard in cold conditions and rubbery when its hot.
I went for the protein/carb ratio. It wasn't until later that I read their lies about all the creatine, ATP, EPO, etc that's in it.
