"if you do the Coluzzi-Waterfall ride on Saturday and find yourself "riding solo" in the bunch for more than a minute, then you will be told in no uncertain times where to go ([edit] ie. go to the back of the group[/edit]. While I do not condone this rudeness, the effect is that the bunch rides in two very neat lines (except for the "race" between Waterfall and Sutherland) and averages 38-40kph for 80km every Saturday." |
...and now I'm home and dry.
|
yeah that sounds about right. usually just get "moved" out of the way. Not uncommon to hit around 75k's on the mad mile just before sutherland. If ever you feel like doing it, let us know.

On a similar note, going down Newcastle Road at 50+, the peak on my helmet nearly tears my head off from the wind shear. |

you didn't mention the Union & the IR reform. Couldn't have been that serious.

what did happen to the thread, was funny reading. Will it ever come back?

Well lads, it looks like it's bye from me. The thought police at werk have decided to block access on the main proxies, so I guess it's only a small matter of time before it's blocked on all the pipes out.
I couldn't be arsed paying for my own internet connection, or setting up an account that bypasses the proxies, so I guess I'll just have to dedicate my efforts to something else worthwhile. Like training.... Have fun |
Jock who?
My boss said yesterday he's going to take away my internet access. Not a big worry, as I don't actually have any. :D |
