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

Can you guys suggest me a good club to ride in the Caulfield, Glenhuntly or nearby area in Melbourne.
I'm 16 and ride a sora bike. 2-3 rides a week would be fine, or 1 ride a week. The main thing is a place where there are also people my age. I've only been in one group bike ride, and that was mainly only people that worked at a bike shop, rather than the public.

Well, it appears I didn't miss much today. Fantasy Footy? And I thought FF in the states was stooopid. I played baseball for 3 years, and I think the best part was riding my bike to practice (And crackin' skulls when I pitched). I'd hate to look back on my life and think I wasted a lot of time watching sports on TV. Whoops! Fell off my soapbox.

you're 6'3" and you collect typewriters? Hmmmm...I see


Well, you're lucky. There's a club just near you: Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club

https://www.carnegiecycling.com.au/

They have a velodrome on Leila Rd, just near Packer Park

I tried collecting Spanish flies for a few years, but I kept using them in the vain hope that one of them might work...

Just move to a foreign country. From what I hear, women love an accent...

When I read that I imagined that for women a foreign accent might instill romance, adventure, even risk. And then I tried to imagine an American accent providing all those things and all I got was "Jethuth Chritht" (Mr Slave, Southpark).

I don't think our accent helps Aussies out OS, what with that striking nasal ring and all. No, it has to be the good looks, cool manner, sharp wit, debonair lifestyle, and enormous beer-gut.

Scroz, they used to start showing aussie rules on sundays on bbc2 once the football season finished. That was a few years ago though so I may be a bit out of date and I wouldn't be surprised if Sky has bought the rights like everything else. You'll probably be able to find a pub in central london that's an aussie stronghold that'll be showing it. There's more foreigners in central london than english people so finding an aussie pub shouldn't be too hard either

Yeah but I have done so well by staying out of those places... oh well looks like it could be time to swallow my pride for a bit of footy. Thanks for the tip.
