The Sunday Sessions

Well the Sunday roadie ride started out exactly the same as the Saturday morning ride - a flattie within 1k of leaving the start.  Snapper thought he was at the Nitro Circus try outs and was jumping all over the road to avoid the hole.... or maybe he was just  being mindful of his nice new steed and didn't want any first week bingles?? 

Croz was in charge of the flat tyre change - no instructions needed today Caro!  Might I say though that I think the instructions are a mighty good idea for newbie riders (and those that don't ride with their own mechanics) however, you may want to leave out the "squeal like a girl" part when you use the gas cylinder - that was a little embarrassing Croz!!

Unfortunately for us, there was no coffee shop to pull up at in Goondoon Street at 5:30am so we had to change the flat and ride on.  I can honestly tell you that I was looking around pretty darn hard for that coffee shop too.

The Yeah Yeah Ride


Ahh, how can you not love this face?????  In the words of the King - I shall have my cake and eat it too!  In fact, I shall eat as much as I can stuff in my face!  Happy birthday to the Hef for tomorrow.  Yeah yeah.

Good turn outs on both the Dirty Rat ride and the Yummy Mummy ride.  Flats were also present in good numbers on both rides with three on the roadie ride and one on the MTB ride.  Yeah yeah.

Right.  Mrs Huth gets to spend the week in the naughty corner for jumping the start of the ride and getting to the coffee shop well before we even looked like arriving and Mr Anderson gets to spend the week in the naughty corner for smashing the birthday boy on the Dirty Rat ride - no chocolate milk for you either Mr Anderson!  Yeah yeah.

And in the words of Zulu - "It would be nice if spring would stick around for a little longer than a week, it appears that we're into summer already".  About time I say!!!  Yeah yeah.

Caro - Yeah yeah!

The Love Is Ride

Ok you Mere Males in M1 Land, listen up.  Remember the little cartoons "Love is.....", well this morning's ride was a clear indication that Hef, Snapper and Mr Anderson all need to be reaquainted with the Love is theory.  Let me explain....

Mr Anderson.  Love is NOT.... 'deliberately stalking down your wife on Haddock Drive and passing her 10 metres before the top'. 

Snapper.  Love is NOT.... 'catching your wife just before the railway line with about 500m to go before the coffee shoop'.

And Hef.  Love is DEFINATELY NOT..... 'sprinting against your wife as you come into the final corner 100m before the coffee shop to take victory for the boys'.

It's probably a good thing that LG wasn't on the ride this morning as I'm sure he would have been influenced by the other Mere Males in the pack!

And "Enforcer", you took Kitty Soft Paw Ride to a new low this morning when you turned on Jim Whyte and missed Haddock altogether.  Tsk Tsk.

The Launch Ride

Yah!  It's finally getting warmer - mind you, I'm now starting to notice the magpies lurking in the trees beside the roads so it's not gonna be long for them to be warmed up either!
