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

I guess you've just answered Thylo's Q in post #4000. Can you work around it/fix it/bribe someone to make the problem go away?

LOL, yes, it came true again !!

All ready to go, then, need written permission to use the land (i.e. not incl, Council or Police), OK, maybe no hassle, but then, would also need temporary zoning restriction lifting to allowed a sporting event to be held there. With only 8 weeks to go it's not looking likely that anything can be guaranteed... may go for a change of venue instead, one that hopefully only Council needs to approve, not 3 different bodies.

On a good note, looks like summer club crits will be on Sunday morning instead of Saturday arvo/eve.

Has anyone else noticed, that whatever you try to accomplish in this world, there is always a major hurdle that's there for absolutely no good reason appart from purely making things difficult?
Are you asking the guy that expected to be back in the US right about this time? Yeah, we know about red tape.

Down my neck of the woods - pretty dull, wet and cold day. Would have been nice and cold up at Rawson.

I haven't been since 1984 but I'm gonna hafta go soon. My wisdom tooth collapsed about two months ago and it's starting to get a bit sensitive to the old staminade and growling dog. Not much fun in the middle of nowhere on a long ride. But no as unpleasant as actually getting it fixed!

Anyone know where I can get temporary filling (gutarpersia, dentemp, tempine, etc.) Not one of the chemist on the central coast stock it. One actually went as far as saying that they used to sell it, but now the dentists don't allow it!!!! WTF??? What about all the adventurers who go bush for 2 months? What are they supposed to do? Albey Mangles would never put up with that sort of rubbish!

Nup. No fillings.

I like the rain. Makes you tough. Like Belgium.

Like Robert Millar once said (who had to train in Scotland in February!!!): "Even on a day when I head out for only a couple of hours in sheeting rain, I know Sean Kelly will have done 6 hours with no gloves on."

Climbo, in regards to your issues with CX. TORC ran a " 4X dirt crit" on a mini bike course in St ives which was CX friendy, a few guys even turned upon CX bikes. maybee its worth investigating as a stop gap?

Saccy, were you the one looking for some V brakes and levers? I can't believe I just sold my used levers on ebay for $50. I parted out my spare MTB (known as the "parts bike") on ebay, minus the Mavic wheels and some other goodies, and got over $650 for it. Crazy.
