    Talk about screwy weather! 6:15am it was 7 degrees outside and the heating was on and now it's mid-20s outside and I'm sure the aircon is about to kick in. 😕


    Cool change has just hit Sydney. Drove up and did the Oaks this morning. It was calm and hot. Drive back down into Sydney, the wind is getting wild, and the temperature is probably ten degrees cooler already. Could get wild tonight, it's got that smell about it.

  2. Tasmania- what cold lonely state full of [censored] dogs without leashes, stupidly steep hills and weather as bad as a britney spears comback performance🙁

    Glad to be back in Melbourne, the centre of Australia😄

    (waiting for abuse)

    You suck Jono.

    How could you do that to a [censored] dog? You [censored]. Don't you know they're a protected species? It wouldn't be so bad if you'd bisected a basset dog or chopped up a chuahuahua dog. But fondling a [censored] dog is just not on. The newspapers reported that you got so excited that your airways became compromised and you were doing that convulsing thing that only perverts do.

    Man, you are one sick little puppy... pardon the pun! 😄

    If you are going to do a Sandy Casar impersonation, do the bit where he won the Tour stage, not the one where he t-boned the dog.

    FWIW it was [censored] here too, just not as wet.

    How ya feeling? Sounded like you were in a bit of strife according to the cyclingnews report with your breathing.

    Hey, it seemed right at the time, no strings attatched of course😎

    If that 'dog' had stripes Jono, you're a DEAD MAN. 😄

    I'm surprised you haven't got him riding one of those stripey cats yet tigger...
    - i guess the junior cyclones have a sponsership commitment? Jono?

  10. Just watched Tiff hammer the new Audi R8 on Fifth Gear.

    Thought the poor bugger was goig to cream his dacks!

    No abuse forthcoming - good to hear you're in one piece.

    What I want to know is why there is this apparent vendetta amongst cyclists towards harmless little canines? :p

    Depends on your state institute.. Bianchi for me🙂

  13. Rugby sucks [censored].

    I'm drowning my sorrows in home brew and red wine whilst watching V8s thrash round saccy's back yard.

    tee hee!

    You're just [censored] because you know a stealthy Thylo would've easily been able to avoid a stray puppy much easier than some pudgy Italian that was in his prime 30 years ago! 😄

    Rugby sucks this side of the ditch as well 🙁

    I've lacked motivation for riding lately & my belt has added a notch :o
    Yesterday at work I decided today would be the beginning of training for crits which start 2/11. A solo 75ks in good time [for me] had the legs a little fart-eaged & a bloody agro magie at Belmont golf course had me guessing on the return leg :eek:
    So it's a start, I just have to keep it up 🙂

    Now, now, settle down young man - you need to remember you've had a recent head injury and should avoid too much excitement. :p
