Tour of Southern Grampians

G'day

So who's doing the tour of the Southern grampians?.......I'm told tha
they have 'heaps' of entries in C & D grades, not so many in A & B
Should be a good weekend away. We're staying in hamilton, co
accommodation in coleraine is scarce. I haven't seen a 'profile' of th
course yet, so i'm not sure whether there are any 'nasty' climbs hidin
there!. The 110km on the Sunday should be interesting, long distance fo
this time of year. i imagine most guys are building now for road seaso
(late april kick off in the northern combine)...so who's going

cheers

I take it that you are racing? Which grade?

Do you have an URL for race details? (yeah, I COULD google for it... but
Hitchy's in the know already.. :P)

Not if you're using a news reader :

Well spotted though - I'm switching from the ng to cyclingforums.co
website intermittently. This site doesn't seem too accurate with markin
posts as read so I'm undecided as to making a full switch

G'day

Its never too hot to race!.......It just makes the beer taste better a
the end. On my commute home last night I was hallucinating...all i coul
see was the condensation running down the side of an ice col
'crownie'.....turns out it was just sweat on the inside of the sunnies!

cheers

What would it take

If beer doesn't do it for you.. what about ice cream? Bucket of ic
water over the head? Locking yourself in the fridge at the loca
bottle'o? Cold shower? Hose down by an understanding "friend"? Runnin
through the sprinkler in the backyard? (Water Restrictions still i
place throughout Victoria

It's only gonna hit mid-30's.. that's not even warm enough to coo
an egg on the toptube.. or is that just because it keeps fallin
off... hmm..

On-Topic: I don't think I can make the Tour (sorry Hitchy, maybe I'l
buy you a beer somewhere else?) because I'm jetsetting away on April 1s
(unless it's all big joke..)
