Average was 1km/h up this week, must have been because the 'founders' were

Yeah that's right, taunt me as I sit here writing about ethics -
yawwwwwwwn - looking out at a beautiful sunny day (and we've had so many
of those in Melbourne recently). Hurrumph.

My legs have been stuffed since Thursday for some unknown reason.

Hopefully the weather will be as good as today, in a few weeks
time. Got commitments next week, I think.

Off now to the St Kilda festival to make the most of this weather.

Do some higher cadence, easy spinning to warm 'em up and make 'em nice
and fluffy.. or something.

Take sunscreen.. I got nicely cooked watching the crits..

The weather is awesome DaveB!
(that'll teach you.. wishing for rain, indeed! ;))

B grade taken out by a 14 year old on restricted gearing!!!!
That race looked seriously evil, perhaps >half the field retiring?
Even "More pain!" Wayne was out the back eventually. Credit to him for
hanging in so long!

warwych - did you race or were you just there to perve? :)

Congrats to Simon and Andrew with 2nd and 3rd in D grade!

Sorry Hip, if I had known you could have got some sunscreen from me whilst
you were waiting for me in Pt Melb after the crit. I had some in the car.

After we finally left the cafe that we were watching the racing from (just
which before the B grade start time) three of us went for a cruisey ride
down to mordy getting back to St Kilda not long into the A grade race. The
crowd were really starting to build up by then. I didn't stay too long
before heading back to the car at Pt Melb and then on to home.

Yes Dave it was a very nice day out there today.

I didn't even know they were on. It seemed that I came at the right
time - most of the interesting stuff was in the afternoon, bar the
crits.


Did you see the mountain bike trials, bmx stunts, and motocross
stunts?

They was cool :)

One guy, of only a few in the world that can do a bizaare upsidedown +
360 degrees turn about 3m up off the top of the ramp.

The fire twirling was cool also, as per always.

Nah.. it's cool.. I don't smoke so I have to be overexposed to the sun
or sit behind trucks to get my fair share of carcinogens.. ;)

Besides which, I don't think about it until it's too late anyway. 'Tall,
dark and handsome'.. I miss out on two of these so I'm hoping I can make
up for that by getting extra tanned.. :)

I stayed until the end of B grade, then "No Hand Trackstand" Neil and I
rode to the city and I hammered to Hawthorn feeling pumped for some
reason.. probably because I knew I didn't have to ride from Hawthorn
home.. ha! ;)
