I'm not keen on the 'kelme' blue or the blue in the 'custom' models.
I'm leaning toward the black & white in the 'customs'...check it out & let me know what ya's think

I know it's early planning but what's going on for Anzac Day? Maybe we can get a group MTB ride going for that day. I'd be happy to come up to Newy area, Killingworth or Glenrock, have to start early though for me to have time to get up and back and fit in a ride. I know Munchie and Willie are keen to hit the dirt.

Bunnies to avange the loss to NZ yesterday
I do believe most clubs train on bikes these days. Souths had all their blokes out on a training ride in pre-season as a "bonding" experience. Most in rugby gear on borrowed road bikes, a funny sight for sure.

* you don't have the sun in your eyes all afternoon
* any kids in your group can get close to the bunny and the knight
* you have an up close and personal view of the cheersquad
get tickets just south of the halfway line* there is more access to beer and toilets

The knights did a run from Nobbys to Nelson Bay in their pre season and some of the guys averaged over 30kmh on MTB/cruisers

Never choose the northern stand if the wind is blowing from the southern quarter (straight off the water)
Unfortunately there are no maps on the ticketek site, but pricing is like this

Wow, I only understood half of this page, and that's a real problem in a thread about nothing.
Oh, and I think George Hincapie has the best non-Euro result in Paris-Roubaix - second by a bee's dick. But I could be wrong, as the only thing I know about racing is 'I hate Lance'.

I came hammering around the corner tonight going around the Westgate dirt crit circuit and saw two guys who looked like they were on a tandem.
Cept there was no bike, if you get my drift.
Someone really should tell the organisers having a mountainbike race circuit at a Gay beat really ain't funny.

When is the Aussie Thread Glenrock MTB ride going to happen? I also need to start doing 40 second interval training. Heck, I may stretch them to 45 seconds, although I don't think a race is even that long. I was pleased to see that after each race, everyone was real friendly, but most sat in silence as they tried to catch their breath. BMX is harder than it looks.
