Thanks. She came a bit early and took us by surprise. A few dramas but all is good now. She’s a little one – only weighing 2.08Kg – and doing well. She’s a long baby. I’ve measured her femur:leg length and this is exactly that of Lance Armstrong’s. Her Hb (haemoglobin for the non-docs) level […]

Good luck y’all. I’ll also be doing the early bird, then head over to the “tent” to cheer the team. Happy to hand out bidons top of Malcolm.

Go go Davina! Ride like the wind (behind you). Do you have one of those Cancellara hamsters in your bottom bracket?

Count me in.

F#%kenberg AND Gooseberry…… HOLY C**P Batman…. I’m lucky i don’t do hill rides (mwa ha haa….)

Andrew, you are so very 1986 – those “supplements” you’ve been taking sure make you look young. But I do like what you’re proposing. Zac, nothing makes you learn faster than doing it. Like the pros say, racing is the best training. Not sure how the lower-grade crits here are done (liked to do one […]

Glad to hear you’re alright Ronny. I agree with Jason – sounds like the plates are illegal. There’s alot more illigle drivers out there than you think. The blitz by police one night pulled over 100 drivers unlicensed! Could also be Isuzu D-Max (same as Holden Colorado), Nissan Navarra, Mitsubishi Triton… Hilux probably most common. […]

Good one Jen. Well done coming second.

Black for me Pete. I’d look like a bloated sausage in whites.

Oh yes, print the tape measure as “INCHES” but in cm increments (hee hee).

PPPS… I envisage it feels like wet diarrhea.

PPS…. Pete & design committee – I think you guys have done a wonderful job with the design. I’d upgrade to the new kit regardless. I agree with previous blogs about a better quality chamois. Able to get one without internal stitching? I don’t enjoy riding with butt cream – feels like a wet diarrhea.

PS… Boo to reflective strips. So geeky. Why not leave the reflector strips on the wheel spokes too. How about the reflector ankle straps and blinking LED body-sash?

I like it. Tre kool, no?! It’ll stand out in a race, and it’ll look good in a bunch. Everyone will want one. The only issue with visibility for motor vehicle drivers is when you’re out in your own. But these drivers would have hit you whether you’re in fluro kit or not. As for […]

Hey Pete, can I join the spr tach team? I don’t feel like shaving this month.

Sad news. I concur with Jorgy about sending something to daz’s family.

Good stuff Jen. Not so long ago, I remember taking you (and Anna) through with the Transitions. Now you have all grown up – mixing it up with the big boys. Sniff…. snifff…. wipe eyes…… Even getting chicked by Anna-the-mountain-goat up a hill is my norm now. It’s good to have a go with Fast […]

That’s why I don’t shave/wax my legs. Russ, I think you’re right. Need to emphasize that if you don’t think you’ve got the legs for it, then don’t have to feel obliged to contribute to the roll throughs. Best not to go into the red zone so you can still hang on. But let others […]

Well done Tobes. Sorry I couldn’t give a hand. I was suffering the last 5km despite having 2 power gels. Tried to get towards the front when you asked for it but didn’t have any matches left. Made rookie mistake of trying for an early breakaway at the start to see who would come out […]
