Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Jock, Climbo, and the Mad Scot are around Erina/Gosford if I recall correctly. I think I'm the lone Novocastrian.

There's a handful of jerseys left Expat. At 100kgs, you'd probably need an XL

S&M costs extra I've heard.

I can be seen parading around in a size M which fits perfectly.

Aussie says he likes to stick their fleece on the barbed wire fence so the cant run off.
The kiwi says he likes to roll them on their back......

My mrs keeps asking me to take her out golfing so I'll have to give it a whirl and see what happens.

NZ golf club membership includes hole-in-one insurance, so that helps keep the wallet in better shape if you have a spot of good luck on the course.

Bad luck on the handicap there, your burgling days are over
Vette, love the ball and chain heaps, but a man needs his own time...it's just not golf to take the wife. Burglary days are over. The down side of having a great game.

Turned 40 two weeks ago, so I'm officially a fat old bast*ard. Ahh well, I still have all my own hair!

They're bottles.

Bidons cannot be passed to riders on the way UP a climb, those symbols show when directeurs can zoom back up with a cold one.

The "Xed-out" bottle means no more feeding until the finish.

AU$98?! That's no longer three American cents, that's a chunk of change now. I'll have to give that some thought, since it's about 3 times what I've paid for any of the half dozen jerseys I have now. That, and the fact that you insulted me with the XL comment.

I know. But it's much more than I've paid for any other cycling shirt. I'll have to cough it up before I move I guess.
