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

You guys suck! It's 10 billion degrees out there, they wouldn't notice if I was sweating. It actually went quite well. No stupid questions either. I'll know something next week.

Just curiously, what's your profession Expat? Why the sudden desire to join the 9-5?

Where do you see yourself in 5 years?

If a train is traveling north at 60mph......

Also, are any of you guys interested in sporting a Thylacine jersey, or are all the yanks going to snaffle them up? ( which is why I suspect Expat is looking for a job )

I think a Thylacine jersey or two would look good in these parts. I'll be having one when you get around to setting a price!

As for the site being blocked, must be mirrored from an adult site or something, not sure. There is no adult content anyway, just different ways of destroying your boss, very funny.

Hopefully this one works then, another good one for Friday:

https://www.wagenschenke.ch/

Try this and see how far you can keep this drunken man up.

You just move you mouse left to right (no clicking) to keep him walking in a straight line.

I did insurance claims and investigations for 10 years. Don't want to move to Sydney. Also photography for about 14 years. I'm only working to offset moving expenses. How much for a jersey? No pastels please.

Thanks again.
glad to help.

I was minding my own business, rolling along after a hard mornings ride, when some ugly bugger sticks his head out the passenger window of a passing car and scares the bejeezuz out of me. It was climbo of course, riding shotgun for bird-flu-boy after their own little ride. They looked far too clean to have done any serious riding. I reckon they were at the Woy Woy pub watching the bar dancers!

The Mad Scot and I went for a great MTB loop this morning, hit the Moab of Sydney which was very cool, and technical !!

Forgot to mention, I'm going to the footy tonight at Grahame Park if anyone wants to join me and the wife. Knights v Sharks trial match, $20 a ticket.

Within the next 6 months I could be riding at the Moab of Utah. Oh wait, that's the original.
