First week back from base was interestin. Quiet hit-out on Tuesday followed by boot camp sprint training from hell, short intervals Thurs and today was 'Climb like a cycling dog' day. My heart is now just a limp and shrivelled carcass, and my carrot bag is empty.

Luxury!
My heart is empty and my carrot is just........................never mind. :rolleyes:

Arnie approved? Farntarstic !!

You lot have been busy! Sticky 3? Still saves me reading thru the remnants of Sticky2!

Yep, back in Oz only to spend the weekend feeling jetlagged. Managed a quick road ride on saturday.

Ate some good Aussie prawns on Saturday night and spent half of Sunday in Gosford hospital on a drip hooked up to all sorts of machines with chronic food poisoning! :mad:

Any excuse to get out of the coffee run! :p

nice welcome back :D

You missed a nice MTB ride Sunday morning. Up at Kincumber they've gone over those bouldery sections with bluestone gravel and packed it down a bit.

You call in to B&S?

not yet

Evans got podium action :)

and I found the entry point for the long DH trail that is almost top to bottom, 2-3 minutes worth.

2-3 minute downhill: nirvana

it's about all you can get around here. Ourimbah is quite long though, takes me about 10 minutes to get down I'd reckon with all the walking over the 6 foot drops.

Sounds good, I think I've been down that trail, brings you out at the entry point from bronzewing side?
Lots of off camber greasy rocks?

Walking? huh? What about air-time? :p

that's it.

oh yeah, that too, plus OTB time. :)

Winners are grinners. Seems Cadel likes windy and rainy conditions :)

yep, he's a Melbourne boy :D

Definition of dilema...Trying to decide if you need to sit down or kneel down first!

Has every day of the Deutschland Tour been pissing with rain??
