The Thread about Nothing....
rain I try not to ride when it's pissing down and the road is saturated, coz I figure I'm not gunna ride fast enough to get much of a workout when there's road spray going everywhere, but I'll ride when there's only scattered showers; infrequent enough to keep the road dry enough.
I think you said you could get a good workout up steep hills without much road spray.
by the way, the 'junk' bike always starts as Sora or old 105, but invariably ends up at least as an Ultegra bike :) My crap bike started as a mix of 8sp Shimano 600 and 105, and is now a mix of 9sp Ultegra and Dura-Ace...ooops.

Except for joggers who feel the need to run in the bike lane towards on coming traffic!!!:eek: , come on, on the footpath.:)AAAAAGH!! I farkin hate that!! :p
There are 7 trillion miles of footpath suitable for jogging, but only a handful of really good roads for riding, and they have to jog on the fkn road????!! :p We spend half the time trying not to get killed, then we've gotta get round some dopey jogger who ya can't see in the dark!!
there's a guy who does it on the beach from Charman Rd. to Parkdale, and I put my head down, pretending not to see him, then ride right on the edge of the road.
I see some on Reserve Rd., too, and it's totally black near the golf course.

Actually Saccy, I agree with you & was just thinking the same....she clearly loved her job & I'm assuming mods don't get paid...so it's a pity for her....just wish she hadda attempted to resolve things rather than just go 'bull in a china shop'.....I'm assuming she 'cracked it' & resigned, rather than be shoved?....expat?......So whose starting the "bring back Koffee thread"?.....anyone?....anyone?.........
Probably a bit of both. It wouldn't have got to the stage it did (getting the arse or resigning) if it was just one thing. Wasn't the first time I've seen her be heavy handed either, especially when someone disagrees with one of her opinions.

it just continues to amaze me just how many people just dont understand how important protein is..specifically full branch chain amino acids. everyone ive come across in cycling terms and what i keep reading in forums and the like is carb,carb,carb,carb and carb and a bit of protein.
if your even semi serious about cycling and your not getting 2gms of protein per kg of body weight per day then your a clown - period.http://cyclingforums.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
Oooooh...sounds like an open invitation the the 'Great Stern' to be visiting here real soon...he's got a brazillion reasons why we don't need protein supplements. FWIW, I agree with you...dunno much about the scientific facts, but I believe in what my body tells me.....& it always recovers better after a sesssion,with protein, than it does without. Theory is that we can get enough protein in a balanced diet...but who has that?....& whats a balanced diet anyway?...a 'crownie' in each hand?

Yeah, and spot if he's wearing a rug! :)

I used to be a huge fan of Jim Hocking (The Astros, etc), and i went to the Musos Lounge every Monday night, just to watch him do 5 songs! I dunno how he got such a good sound out of a non-preamp Marshall and 2 Boss Overdrives!
Jack Jones blew me away as much as any of the guys above. He's a farking freak!! But now he cares too much about music to play like an 80s wanker -- he just does Hendriz licks, and hangs out with his hippy mates in Ackland St.Agree, I'm thinking hair extensions for the Y-man a big possibility:)
Jimy Hocking is amazing. Seen him both acousitc & wired up. His BS in between songs is usually pretty entertaining too.
Jack Jones - killer guitarist - frickin scary monobrow!:D

SS = single speed
Joggers, yep. Driving to the beach for a surf at 6am and there are literally hundreds of them off at that time from Terrigal, they run 3 or 4 abreast up the main fucking road and expect you to drive on the median strip to go around them. Twats ! :(

Did anyone see the freakshow known as Dannii Minogue on Rove tonight?
HER FACE IS INCAPABLE OF MOVING!!! It looked like a mask. No expression whatsoever, other than smile and normal face. She could barely move here friggin lips when talking. Truly sad and frightening.

yeah thinking of it....rumour has it that it May be the last one that ammo's are actually allowed in....in any event, it'll be my last.....300km is too far for this little black duck to be racing, I'm getting to old. Told the 'coaching nazi' to get me ready for 'warnie'...entries close 2 weeks before, so I'll see how I'm travelling then & make up my mind....in the interim, alot of lonely hours on the bike......got 6 hrs on Sunday!...thank god for IPOD!

I've heard that rumour too. Looks like I might have left my run too late.:)
Have you heard any reasons why? Maybe the field is getting too big?
I was wondering if they want to turn it into a teams only event like they are trialling a few of this year.

hmmmmmmm this guy along with pigmode both seem to want to bait us...they are the type of individuals who carry forward issues from the past and are best neutralized by utterly ignoring them....anthony wants to take the moral high ground and i guess perhaps feels he has been felt out of it all and now wants to grandstand. if i was tiger id ignore him.

Thylo,
thanks for the consideration and not publicly crucifying Koffee.
Now I've got to go see what pigmode and the other seppo are
whinging about. . . .
And for the record, I thought seppo was one of the Marx brothers. . .

What for? That would be what, SA.com plus four Australian teams riding for what are basically bike shops sponsors or glorified club teams?
Do they think there are actual real pro bike teams in Australia?

I think the plan is if they chuck out all the ammo's, & try & score some more UCI points....& invite continental teams etc...they have half a chance of turning it into some sort of 1 day classic....as much as I've loved doing it.....the world longest single day road race, with ammo's?.....I think if they muck around with the dates & make it attractive to O/S teams they might go alright....still a pity to muck about with 100 odd years of history....history that I'm part of.....
