We're organising a raiding party in our office right now to catch the Spewcat over to Lonny for Easter and crash in the bush with a digital camera and some rotten meat on a pole.....
I'll post the pics next week while I'm counting my mill.....

Yeah oh well, I guess it something that happens at times in life. Just could do without it at the moment... need to save some cash.
But at least tomorrow is the long weekend, looking forward to getting out for a ride at some stage and run as well maybe. Just need the weather to improve a bit.
Got Easter plans?

As for Easter plans, well nothing special. Tomorrow I'll be scouring the coast for a decent place to do short intervals, and fitting an hour's worth of the suckers in as well (oh the pain!). Saturday local coffee run, 3 hour ride on Sunday, then race on Monday.
Oh yeah, and spend some time with the family too!

Yeah that would be good. Have hit out on the MTB at Glenrock or maybe a bit of a road trip somewhere?

Mmm....ADA wheels. Were pure horn back in 96 and still are.
Just scoping Landis's BMC on cyclingnews.com. Those dimpled Zipps are the shizzle.

FAAAAAAAAARKKK!
How the "firetruck" did that happen?
That's why you really need a warranty: nobody can afford to bust a $5000 frame, and say, "oh well"
Are you sure it ain't just moving paint?

I'm going to just concentrate on local club racing for the next six months. I've still got plenty of re-learning to do. Body doesn't like the puke-o-matic intervals ATM but if I don't get them sorted I might as well put my dreams and aspirations back in the closet where they belong.

Only one Central Coast Club starter out of 300+ riders at the Masters Nationals is a pretty poor effort IMHO. Anyone know Rod Beckworth? Nice guy and a pretty decent rider too, came 5th in the crit.

His young daughter is turning out to be a pretty handy rider too. You might see her name up in lights in 3 or 4 years time if she continues to enjoy the sport.It was plenty too early for me to be bothered with. I still have another 12 months on my L plates. Maybe next year. Besides, I wouldn't have wanted a novice like myself to put the rest of them to shame
#1172
wasn't it in Melbourne? Long way to go for a lot of people... never even knew it was on myself but maybe next year.

I went down to Lancefield. Had a great time.
I can't wait till next year.
It's NSW's turn. Possibly somewhere around Gunning I hear. Fantastic thing to do IMHO.
