climbo 12-02-05 12:07 AM

berny 12-02-05 12:48 AM

It's way too much bling for me. Crep! :eek:

Flak's an Aussie in Cleveland. I think he lives near Drew Carey.

Next to road bike nite rides :D
Here's one I'm gunna do;
A unique event on Sydney cycling calendar is the inaugural BikeSydney Summer Solstice Ride on the night of 20/21 December . We meet at 1.00am (early Wednesday) at Martin Place Cenotaph. Ride thru deserted streets in dead of night! Cross the Bridge and make our way to North Head for spectacular sunrise at 4.41am (the summer solstice). Breakfast at Shelley Beach, a ferry back into town :)

RiotBoi 12-04-05 08:43 PM

of all the thing I miss from Oz

Brian 12-04-05 08:46 PM

How could you miss a cr*p beer like that? :D

jock 12-04-05 09:29 PM

My wife calls it Vomit Breath.

But there's nothing wrong with missing crap things from time to time. I miss the real Reschs Pilsener. It too was a pretty gawdy excuse for a beer but they changed the recipe twice and made it worse each time !!! :roflmao: At least a few pubs still stock Reschs DA. A nice crisp summers evening beer (or breakfast if you prefer)

Brian 12-04-05 09:31 PM

I had a Carlton Dry the other night. Not too bad. That's like 4 beers this year now.

jock 12-04-05 09:31 PM

Expa, how come HobartDave has a * in his cr*p and I don't? Isn't my cr*p worthy of a *?

Because he thinks crap is a banned word. It's not. You can also have chicken breast for dinner, ride with your friend Dick, and have a phone with an inbuilt vibrator. Even ass is an acceptable word. But please don't use them in inappropriate context.

jock 12-04-05 09:35 PM

I learnt summint on the weekend: don't annoy Brett McGinty.

One our noblest riders held his ground, putting Brett into the grass. Nobody thought anything of it, except Brett who was a tad miffed (insert heated debate here).

In the wheelrace final he went past me like I was going backwards and I was doing est. 45kph. And still with 2 laps to go!!! Didn't even bother trying to latch onto the train. Apparrently he was still a bit edgy. :o

Since when has the Aussie Thread ever had a context of any shape of form? We don't even complain about the MTBer's contibuting in a road thread. I shouldn't complain seeing as how I;m now polluting it with track cr@p.

Man, you sure do drink slowly.

It's the straw. Or maybe it's a coffee stirrer. By the way, my move date is getting closer, so I hope we'll get in one more ride before I go.

As a moderator, it seems like we have to take a look every day. I have no further comment.

RiotBoi 12-05-05 02:04 PM

I happen to like VB. tastes better then Vegemite, which oddly enough they have in healthfood stores here in hawaii

PaulBravey 12-05-05 02:17 PM

Anything tastes better than Vegemite, Marmite is far superior.

62vette 12-05-05 02:24 PM

I would rate Vegemite as better than tripe and onions, but you are right that Marmite is superior.

VB is OK for quenching a thirst on a hot day, but if you want to enjoy a beer go for Coopers Sparkling Ale. The finest nectar produced in Australia. :beer:
