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

From: Wherever good bikes are sold

Bikes: Thylacines...only Thylacines.

Simple solution. Buy a Mac. Don't use Hotmail. Problem solved.

I'm such a great help. Can you imagine me on the other end of a Help Desk?

You can click Help and Support on your start menu, and invite someone to assist you remotely. Oh no, is my nerd-ness showing?

Nah, you've got it wrong: they've all got two heads, and they marry their sisters.

Mind you, I have noticed that the hotmail address on the status bar is in numbers rather than Connecting to https://www.hotmail.com.... or whatever it is.

Robbie McEwen is in town this week. Did his annual tour of duty with the infamous Dawn Patrol this morning. They do a 100km circuit featuring six decent climbs before work every Wednesday. They also take great pride in breaking the back of noobs before they reach the first climb.

I wonder how it went.

Be buggered. I've got no interest in seeing 100 or so sad pathetic souls trying to get close to the great man. Besides, I've been dropped twice this year, so I've blown my full quota.

It starts at Roseville shops at 6:00am?? Robbie graces them with his company almost every year.

You also missed the Brad McGee ride on Saturday afternoon. Again through Bobbin head, but a shorter course I think. He was a bit laid back this year they reckin. I was on family duties in Maitland so I missed that one too.

But all is not lost. I'll be dropping into the track tonite to pay my 2005 fees. Look for the swarm of swooning girls. Hahahhaa
