You could do worse than typing cytomax into Google. Phantomcycles has 2kg for $150
[edit] the same stuff OS is USD30 (about AUD50) + shipping

I have "some" during my ride, then I gulp a bit down while I'm rolling home.
other than that, that bike shop in Black Rock (John Kennedy) has a bunch of the Enervit stuff

Nup.
Road sprinters are really just those guys brave enough to have a crack and can turn the 11.
Track sprinters are from a different planet. Not human.

Boonen. What a powerhouse!
I'm keen to see if there are any interviews with Mcewan and O'Grady tonight. There wasn't any this morning, but it looked from above like O'Grady held his line and McEwan was trying to squeeze into a gap that wasn't there.
I have to say though fellas, 3 hrs of flat stages IS boring. I think I'm with Hitchy - might stay up and watch some of the key mountain stages but otherwise I'll probably stick to the 5pm Fox or 6pm SBS highlights.

Robbie was on with Kockie and Berretta on 7 this morning. Sez all he was trying to do was unlock elbows with Stu...feels harshly done by (as he would).

Signed up for the Alpine Classic Audax thingie just now. Hopefully they'll let me enter. Is that the thing Hitchy keeps on claiming makes him take turns worse than a bad trip?
