A couple of the lads from up here are down there doing the M23 race. Trying to see how they went.

Go to cyclingnews.com mate.....photos and A-grade results (U23s race in A-grade, which is actually B-grade if you think about it!!) Sme good shots of the new Lotto jersey on Henk, Robbie, Gatesy...nice new Ridley Damocles bikes too.

, I like the black better but who's complaining, it's a sweet looking machine. Plenty of colour in them jerseys to say the least, Robbie has the yellow and green added in places too.Just not enough detail in those results yet, looking for those placing outside the top 10, I'll go back for a look for full results tonight.

All three of them...Gates, Vogels and McEwen have been the Australian road champion, entitling them to wear the green and gold bands.

Yup, and its called "How was that commute today?" 
And even worserer, it's still the biggest at 7000+ posts. Oh well, I guess that means we'll have to dribble on for a bit longer.

Thankyou linesmen. Thankyou ballboys. I cannot resist the urge to go and complete a nasty set of intervals any longer. I hope it's rediculously hot and windy outside. Until tomorrow...
