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.

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!

nice welcome back 
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.
