well lets take advantage of the dry weather predicted over the weekend as they reckon it will be raining all of next week again. cold is easier to deal with than wet, so rug up and onto the bike to celebrate good ole american day. actually with a nuclear powered american aircraft carrier anchored just off freo, i should be careful not to upset our overlords, i mean allies.
now don’t forget that the tour starts on saturday night, so stock up on no-doze as sbs is delaying our telecast so that we will know the result off the net 2 hours before the vision finishes. i will endeavour to find a free link online and post it on the tour tipping page. which links nicely to a reminder that if you want to enter the tour tipping comp, you better think up a witty name and get you team in fast. we have over 25 teams in already, so the competition will be hot.
also, i have extended the cut off date for the new kit to after this weekend. i still have to sort some things out with teschner and cannibal so if you want something, get you order in asap. we are up to around $10,000 worth of kit ordered again and this is our 3rd order of this magnitude. a few things may not reach the min requirements so if you think you may need arm or knee warmers or a vest then let me know as this may just get us the numbers to get them into the order.
saturday will see a split up hale rd with the fast group having to do ridgehill as well. i want to take advantage of the ene winds to give us a push home along guilford road.
sunday there will be hills. only 4 categorised climbs but no chance to better your climb time up mundaring rd as we will tackle lawnbrook instead.
Time to get yourself digital TV. SBS2 is covering the Tour live starting at 9:30 on Sat night but from 8:30pm thereafter.
yeah, i know. my bad. i was looking at the guide and thinking that sbs 1 and sbs hd were the two channels and didn’t see sbs 2 just below it. cool the tour starts at a nice respectable time of 8:30.
