G'day all,

just back from the Oz masters RR......Hitchy duly shelled at 70km when the hammer went down!....mind you, i'd been chewing bar tape for the previous 50 km anyway!....65 km an hour, 60 blokes in single file cos of the wind is not my idea of fun!...man I'm glad to see the back of these masters 3 dudes, i've graduated to MM4 for next season.....will be the youngest instead of the oldest!.......planning my assault on the '06 RR already!.

Should be fun if you get caught in that!

Good work Hitchy.

Going to try and get out this weekend for a bit of a MTB ride, weather depending.

Working in Perth, hanging out here for easter with wife....Enjoy!

We're going to try to get in 2 rides this weekend, plus some BMX practice. It's not looking good with the weather though. I hope Munchie brought a life vest.

got the 'tour of the Southern Grampians' in 2 weeks....be doing a few hills in preparation for that. the lads are planning a 'Baw Baw' assault over Easter....I'm not so sure this is a good idea......when I heard Baden cooke say he'd used a 27 cog to get up it the year he won the suntour........& I'm only giving him about 15kgs & i've only got a 25!!!.....anyone got a 32 they wanna loan me?...either that or I'm stayng in bed & cuddle the easter bunny!

Plenty of nurses jobs go'n for sure, though sounds like to much politics involved for this black duck chics are good at diplomatic things, ill stick with freight deliveries, if somone wants to take on the bull bar, bring it on .
Heard on talk back radio about the cyclist gettig pinged , gee the coppers have only got stand at the lights in town and ping the J walkers if there that short of cash.
64 kmh down Murry street with trafic takes some balls, that section to king's park road is part of a cycling curcit.

Oi! I was so busy putting heaps on Wattshisname, I forgot the important news. My wife's mum calls me "Haffa" now. As in "Half an Aussie". As in, I am now a permanent resident!

Expat, so how does the job and now being a Haffa impact the plans on heading back to Bush Country? Congrats on being a resident of here though, I am sure that opens a few more windows of oppertunity for you and your family.

Looks like everyone on the job front is going good. I will update with my news then. I have decided that instead of getting a job here, I am packing up and heading to London to Live for a while and see what I can find over there. I can try and keep the thread alive at night time then.

you'll be too busy drinking :)

Well I am hoping that, that will not be the case ;) But probably will be true.

As an ex-aussie, living now in London, I can assure you that it is true. Sorry dude.

Yep, all I did for 2 years over there was drink. :)

did you put on heaps of weight?

Well I guess the proof is there then hey :( oh well! I am sure I will enjoy it though. Hopefuly the gf can keep me from getting drunk all the time then, she is a bit of a health freak, so she might be able to keep me in line...

I am keen to do some touring through Europe though. That is going to be exciting.

Beer and Women, which is a man's greater weakness?

Why, bikes, of course!

You're not wrong buddy. Time of your life, coming right up

lol, well I will have to think of the pro's and con's of that one Munchy :D

How did you guys fair down south with this weather?

Yeah I am a bit scared with the whole idea at the moment for it is a spare of the moment impulse decision that I have made to do this, but I know that once I get there, it will be worth it. The oppertunities for travel are going to be amazing, so well looking forward to it.

Just deciding whether to take teh MTB over with me straight away, will be summer there so not a bad thing.

Scroz, where abouts are you located at the moment?

Living in London, didnt bring my bike, regret it every day. Bring it. Whatever you do bring it

who me? nope, I have the genetic disposition of a stick. Damn fun though !! This was before I discovered bikes, but after I discovered women. :)

He he, another stick man. We are so lucky
