Last night it was apparently one perp, and it was near the low-rise housing estate (very dodgy area, used to live a block from there)....and now on the radio they said it was a gang. Either way, it has to be drug related knowing the area.
The sobering part I guess is that I picked up my fiancee from Sth Kensington station yesterday on my sparkly orange roadie - which isn't the most salubrious station in the world - and there was this dodgy guy, totally off his skull pushing a 50 buck K-Mart bike and swearing to himself.
Perhaps we should take a leaf out of the Yanks book and all pack Uzis when we go riding?
Seriously though, wtf is up with this country?

Took my daughter to Jr Dev Champs, under sufferance of course. When a conflict of sporting events occurs the little children always win. Bugger.
But don't worry, I'll be happy to bring along some more of that serious pain that you seem to enjoy to the crit season. Caught A bunch twice on the Akuna Bay climbs on Saturday. The B bunch have now had me expelled for being antisocial!

Rod B just couldn't wait, he towed the other 2 in so they could win it in the sprint.

Somehow I don't think Rod is ever gonna be like that. The problem is he's so one-dimensional that he uses the same tactics in every race. Kinda makes handicaps a little less enjoyable with all the rediculous surging that he does.

is this story about McEwen and Matt White old news?
During a stage at the Tour Down Under, McEwen, White and a few French guys were in a small break, and the 2 Aussies had a deal that they wouldn't chase each other if either one got away. White shot off the front, and apparently, McEwen started offering the French guys money to chase down White! They didn't , and Matt White won the stage.

It's old news, but one that some of the Aussies on tour keep in perpetual motion. I was talking to a physio who went over to help some of the Aussies prep for the TDF and he was told the exact same tale by a guy on the table (remains anonymous). There was a quote that went with it, something like "Robbie will end up being a sad, lonely, and broke old man if he keeps that up."
