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

....that's tellin' him Rowan!........if we wanted 'cycling' as a topic in here...we woulda said so!.......I'd suggest he start a new thread entitled, "all the blokes in the aussie thread are perverted bogans & won't play nicely with me"..........

but seriously Falchoon...good to hear you're getting out...thats what it's all about. We were discussing the maggies on our Sunday group ride. A mate reckons they've got bigger & more viscious this year...he reckons its the herbacides & that they are turning into mutant killer maggies.......personally i think he needs a lie down!,

cheers,

Hitchy

Hey Hitch....those Sunbury magpies are the worst! If I walk to the gym or go for a run during September, I'm taking my life in my hands.

G'day,

there's two on opposite sides of the road,virtually parallel to each other down Plumpton Rd. The other day they were tag teaming me!...wouldn't let up for about 1km!.....more dints in my lid than ever!. Another mat rides with sunnies sticking thru the vents, facing backwards......he reckoned it worked until a maggie came & knocked them off!....I'm not putting stick on 'eyes' on me lid though.....brain damage is one thing, looking like a 'tool' is another entirely!,

Yep....I'll take cranial scarring before looking like a total farkwit any day. If I run down Mitchells Lane in daylight, I'm asking for it.

The sooner they build their nests and hatch more of those bloodthirsty creatures and forget about us the better....til next year!

Am I the only one that thinks of very drunk people whenever I hear or see the word 'Paralypic'?
No disrespect meant to disabled people...

G'day,

as sad as it may be, the Australian Government will today officially declare that cricket can no longer be classed as a 'sport'. A royal commission has found that if cricket was actually a 'sport'......the poms wouldn't be any good at it!
