Yes. Just don't get caught in any 'bike racks' ;)

Did you guys see the WHACK I copped on the "Giro" thread?:D
Maybe I didn't word it properly

climbo 05-15-05 09:49 PM

who'd have thought they'd care so much about a bunch of Aussies. :)

Henk seems pretty genuine though, he's a top Aussie bloke.

He's a classic....he always does that huge arm reach and mouth open like a guppy thing. It was exactly the same when he won the CoreStates.

climbo 05-15-05 09:58 PM

yeah, he never won it when I got down there to watch it though !!

531Aussie 05-15-05 09:59 PM

just finished my winter alu Kennedy. John didn't have any stickers, so I dug these up at my local shop :D

You went to Philly??? that would be a great race I reckon.

climbo 05-15-05 10:16 PM

yeah, I rode there and went to those races, Philly, Trenton when I lived in NJ up to last year. Was great to watch for sure !! BIG turnout every year, parties, BBQ's, beers, the lot.

yeah, that's a big HT, must be the angle like the bike is leaning back a bit or something. Nice though, I'll post MY Kennedy when it's built. :)

That's awesome. It's close to $50k US for the win now....biggest one day payday in cycling.


I remember Scott "The General" Steward got in the winning break in 1989 with Knickman, Kiefel, Oravetz. Reckons he was 180bpm plus the whole time while they were swapping turns....

climbo 05-15-05 11:03 PM

Exxy et al. The guru of the Glenrock Trail Alliance is e-mailing me a trail map of the area.

Yep, big payout for sure !! I have met a few aussies there. Willo and Macca when they rode for Flanders, Henk with Navigators.

climbo 05-15-05 11:05 PM

not the same frame is it?

531Aussie 05-15-05 11:41 PM

climbo 05-16-05 12:41 AM

I can find a satellite photo of my old house, but not much luck on stuff over here. On the image with the purple trails, the one that basically cuts horizontally across the image center appears to be the one we were supposed to take. The one in the lower 3rd looks more like the one we ended up on. We'll take the GPS next time, which will help pinpoint tracks if a decent map is ever located.

crank'n 05-16-05 04:42 AM
