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

Never bought from them, but their prices look about average, and I found their site annoying. No fancy flash please, just show me the goods. If you click on MTB bikes, you'll miss all their apparel and acessories. I do notice they offer embrocations. I have a supplier for a really great line of warm-up and after-ride creams for massage, as well as a great chamois cream. Anyone want more info, lemme know by PM or email.

Belgies make the best stuff....different creames for different road surfaces, for gawd's sake!!

Only the upper part lately. From Oklahoma, on the 60 or 44 I think. I stood at one end, and looked across to the other end of the state...

I would like to add at this stage that I have nothing to add.

I was on a group ride yesterday afternoon when someone turned out the lights. We were halfway up the last climb when the heavens opened with one of the most spectacular storms I have ever ridden in. Rain wasn't as heavy as the Great Narabeen Deluge of Sep 04 but heavy all the same. Rode back to the starting point under intense and very close (creepy) lightning.

Was hoping too...but the missus has stuck me with the kids again!....definately going to geelong on Friday nite though....Browny would probably win except he'll doubtless incur the wrath of officialdom by riding someone into the barriers & be relegated to last....again. The boy can ride....to bad he has the mental capacity of toast.....
