Talking of Moe
Just read on the La Trobe City Cycling Club web page that the Japanese Women's Road team are staying in Moe during February to train for the UCI World Cup at the end of the month. I know Moe has a sister city in Japan, but it's still an interesting choice for an international team to use as a training base (apart from the immediate hills in the south, proximity to Baw Baw region). I wonder what impressions of rural Australia they will take away with them? -- warrwych |

One time we were there looking for a vegetarian lunch. "Do you have anything vegetarian?" "Yes, we have a chicken pie or fish and chips." And in the basketball tournament, after a discretion from the opposing team that we thought worthy of a whistle, we were told by the local umpi "You're in the country now ... you won't get any of your city calls here"!! jimmay |

Talking of Moe
I've just returned from riding from Trafalgar (just before Moe), over
the Strezlecki's and on down to Wilson's Promontory, and back. If I had to pick a place to train: lots of hills, not many cars, really excellent scenery then this would be it. I see that Leongatha is having a "cycling festival". Great stuff. Where I live (Frankston) you'd be luck to get up a "let's kill one less cyclist or pedestrian day". In Frankston you watch very carefully for people in metal cages who actively try to kill you every day. These are evil people. Sure, Moe is the country but I figure there is a radius of "distance from Melbourne" beyond which "civilised behaviour towards cyclists" starts. As Melbourne grows, the perimeter shifts further out. I put it at about Warragul at the moment. So Moe is ideal. |
