...oops, did you catch me going through one? or were you the guy that i passed, who actually stopped at one? sorry!

did you ride last weekend? it was awesome on Sunday. i felt like going to frankston-- to see some new sights-- so i went with two mates from uni. im fit but these guys are strong, with big legs that scare me cuz they used to compete, so they said, "OK Su, wer'e gonna make you do Oliver's hill". i had no idea what i was in for, and knowing these jokers i was ready to be the subject of some trick.

this hill was the biggest thing ive ever come across. it probably went for 200m only, but it was straight up. i was puffing like crazy, and the guys were way stronger than me so they blitzed their way up. it was mad! good fun, and scarier riding down. quit your job and become a policeman mate!

Hey, I was on my way back through Elwood. All the serious riders were pulled up at the pedestrian lights. $160.00 each for you guys. Think of it as a stupidity tax. Ha ha.
I remember doing Oliver's the first time. Where I lived in Tasmania was harder, and I had to do it every ride. No choice. Worked out very quickly, don't get off the bike, and chuck the HRM.
If I got a cut, I would become an officer of the law.
