ROFLMAO

So the 184km effort with Sandy Casar, Magnus Backstedt, Jakob Piil, and Voeckler in Stage five last year dun count?

Did he win it? I musta slept through it. :rolleyes:

Yes he did. :)

... and now a word from our sponsors

Hell on Wheels shows the torture and the pain, the fear and the weaknesses of the men in the Tour de France, offering true insight and unprecedented access to the participants. We see the tears of those who are out of the race and the joy of those who suffered but fulfilled their biggest dream: to reach the finishing line of this hardest race of all”

This documentary will be screened on SBS Television on Saturday July 2 at 9.30 pm

Geez, and to think I paid 7 bucks to see it from the front row of the cinema! Worth a second look though, fersure. I shall pencil it in.

How cool is Zabel in it too, btw? What an officer and a gentleman.

Still, they're all a bunch of psychos.

So I've heard, So I've heard, So I've been told. :D

I really ticked off that he's not racing the tour this year (ie ever again). I think he was primed for another great effort but "there was no room for him on the team". What a load of <insert your own expletive>. Demigod one day, dogfood the next. Ain't cycling grand?

Zabel, nothing left.

Hell on Wheels on SBS, saves me the DVD price :)

What about CX on the road from kariong to WoyWoy,... u got road, firetrail, little singletrack....?
Theres a firetrail runs from the lookout out past the gun club to the Aboriginal drawings too.

That's racing for ya. Zabel's probably too humble and loyal to tell T-Mobile to F off, too.

Anyhoo, hometime for this puppy. For fun, here's a sneek-peek at the latest Thylacine to come out of the den - S&S coupled Tephra, set up for light touring. No, that's not my linen, photo courtesy of happy customer.

He sleeps with it?

never seen it, thing with Calga is we basically already have permission to use the road, easy parking, everybody knows where it is already. Show me where you mean, it might be worth a look.

Ok... what you up to this weekend? could go check it out then head up to calga for a look at some trails near the road course? Even do the GNW section from somersby down to mooney mooney?

Blasphemer! Wash your keyboard out with soap.

He had plenty left at the end of last year's tour, he just let the youngsters get too far ahead in the flat stages.

this weekend will be packed with painting the deck, chopping wood and looking after Kiri. Probably no riding, if anything a short road ride early if it doesn't pour rain.

you guys seen this?

hope it's real

yep, it's going to be a great start to the Tour coverage.

We also beat the Poms finally.... they were 3 for 6 at one stage. Gough top scored for them with a last wicket stand of 50 or so.

And with "bad boy" Symonds ripping in to them to get man of the match.

I knew the summer of success had to end eventually - we finally lose to the aussies and Tim Henman exits early from Wimbledon. Oh the humanity :D

Doesn't he always? :p

You've been... *gasp* ...domesticated :eek:

i'm a great domestique ! :)

"In Australia, Victoria's first closed-circuit racing and training facility purpose-built for road cyclists was announced today."

I thought that's what they did the upgrade on the pacific highway between Kingscliff and Murwillumbah for...

Can anyone translate 'sooky' for me?

Mopey, whiney, being a baby. My dog gets sooky when my wife isn't home.
