Who wants to hear the ramblings of 5 guys who're trying to avoid doing work? :p

No, her formal is tonight. She'll get luggage tomorrow. :D Actually, she's going to go to college in the US, so we'll keep a room for her.

DGV is 42 according to this: http://www.nsw.cycling.org.au/files/...0015.09.05.htm

Newcastle is closer to 50. A lot of riders hate it because the shoulder of the banking rolls off very steeply. It's not uncommon to see riders thrown off their bike if they get trapped high on the wall just as the sprint winds up. They come off the bank and end up riding in mid air for a few metres!! :D

I think you may have that backwards. What's the difference between Aussie Uni's and detention centres?

[edit] She'll be attending a community college in Utah, then a proper 4 year school once she's settled on her major.

climbo 09-21-05 10:25 PM

Utah, nice ! Not Brigham Young (sp?) then?

Brian 09-21-05 10:38 PM

No, not BYU. At least not right away. From my experience, best to go to a Jr. college first, then a 4 year school.

Queensland in January? How do you feel about riding in 35 degree heat with 95% humidity?
