the amount of people i heard say that they were ready to snot that MC woman!!! dang she was annoying (and much of what she was saying was either plain dumb or just factually incorrect, geeesh). The 'fashion' parade was kinda cool tho good to see so many women out riding today. Like frogs, thy are good barometer of how the 'environment' is (altho they ARE rather distracting ) how cool were the trials guys? Hopeless at guessing numbers but i thought about the same as last year? Wonder what turnouts at other locales were like? Had a big smile on the dial all morning getting 'chalk reports' "Oh, that's you! Saw your stuff on insert any one of a zillion locations here " Even got to hijack the microphone for some shameless lobbying. Shoulda seen the stunned look one of the other candidates faces Have you had some helpers with 'advertising' along Canning St? I'm starting to see more and more Vote Jason scrawlings. You know I'd vote for you, if I was a BV member -- Nick |

coowoowoo I am fluoro yellow with envy at you. Many years ago I was debating whether to take a kip mat with me on a battle camp. The full screw turned to me and asked how much comfort would it give me and if I considered that worth the extra weight. That advice has stuck. Carrying rain gear is now a habit :-) -- Cheers | ~~ __@ Euan | ~~ _-\, Melbourne, Australia | ~ (*)/ (*) |

Urgh, I TRY to leave home by then. Had a chat with a roadie on a rare commute. Saw a few more riders on the roads. Suspect most of the casual newbies will have been on the paths. Shock, two others from my work turned up the Woden breakfast. Can't compare numbers because this year is decentralised. A good number in the work racks with a few more to come. -- aeek |

... Started off in to a wicked headwind, concentrated on keeping the cadence nice and high and the gears nice and low which seemed to work quite well. A few more cyclists on Nepean Highway as you'd hope for on RTWD which resulted in a nice amount of banter back and forth. Ironically for me this was one of the few days since last Christmas that I did not ride in, but drove. Have a bad cold and was really not enthused about riding, especially in the strong headwind. Still have a bad cold but may ride in tomorrow. Henry. |

Yeah, I'd be careful abut such remarks. Bike bombs have been used recently in Iraq. Why do that to a perfectly innocent bike to kill & maim? Scum. Anyway, be mindful about twitchy security guards, given the current environment a mildly humorous remark could spark off a right cluster fcuk. -- cfsmtb |
