the state crit champs are on this saturday down at armadale and so mike and i will be heading down to try to win some rouleurs gold.  similar to fools gold in as far as we may be kidding ourselves with a flatish fast tight course.  i would like to get another state masters medal, but we will see what happens on the day.

anyway, the important thing to note is that i will not be riding saturday morning, but instead, will be out on the course with the #1 spr cheerleader (ben) getting some photos again.  so wear your spr kit if you have it so i can get some good team photos.  also, be nice and keep the group together until the hot spots and regroup afterwards.  there are 30km/h easterly winds predicted so this means benara rd.  it will be a hard slog heading out guilford road, so make sure you stick together. 

i also want to get photos at the coffee shop of individuals holding their bikes to add to the bike weight leaderboard page.  you may notice the some of the names are highlighted and you can click on them to see a pic.  and since i am such a nice guy, i will also be bringing the remaining water bottles along.

sunday will be the last hills ride for jens and he has requested a return to the f_ckenberg.  i know that we only did this one a few weeks ago, but the german got very excited when i asked him where we should ride and for some reason he wants to tackle the +15% climb.  yay.  his final ride with us will be the following saturday 22ndwhere he will slip in a quick ride before jumping on a plane to the fatherland.
