The Protein Bar

Now only the Zulu could get his sponsor "baked beans" to make him a protein bar specifically for the Saturday Smash Sessions.  Not sure it's gonna be a hit with all the roadies in the pack though - it may be a little messy to scoff down when the Zulu is peeling banana's on the front!

The KPSR was a HUGGGGGGGGEEEEEE hit this morning with the entire bunch of about 10 riders heading out along Taragoola Road and return.  Mind you though, it may have been the KPSR circuit, but it certainly wasn't the KPSR pace!  It was a totally awesome ride - especially when I SMASHED the tandem up Haddock Drive!

Enjoy your long weekend!

The Lucky Ride

What's the definition of lucky???? Flying down Haddock at full noise, blowing your back tyre but managing to hold your bike upright and stop in one piece!!!

Ron aka The Baker - you should buy yourself a lotto ticket or two!

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 Payback Ride

They say that Karma bites, and after this morning's ride I'd have to agree with that statement.  Last week, the girls were on fire, smokin' up the road - this week, we three chicks couldn't stop moaning and groaning (and we hadn't even rolled out from the shop yet!).  It was a ride of sufferance on our part and other than that, I have very little to report!

In fact, I'm sure we all had our pink tutu's on as we all disappeared early down Harvey Road - avoiding Ando's Lane, Haddock Drive and basically anything that remotely resembled a climb.    

It was definately a boys morning this morning.  But never fear, we will come back - with a vengence... eventually!! 

The Pie Rides

Today was all about pies - and of course the Drop Bear living up to his name.  There wasn't many of us on the roadie ride... only 5.  Baby Wex has some explaining to do, after his no show.  Let me tell you Baby Wex, Papa Wex absolutely smashed it this morning - including a few extra Haddock repeats!!  See what you missed???

So the roadies arrived at Craig's first and Paul (aka Daddy Long Legs) comes out with a pie.  Correct me if I'm wrong but it's a ned kelly???  And apparently, this is the way you spread sauce on a pie.  To me it looks like Daddy Long Legs was just looking for an excuse to play with his food!!

About 20 minutes later, the Dirty Rats ride in, with Drop Bear hobbling along at the back.  Not only did Drop Bear manage to have one off, he had two offs of similar fashion.  Despite the lack of claret, Drop Bear did actually look a bit worse for wear - don't forget to send me the photos when the bruises come out!  And then there were the pie-s.... This is how the Dirty Rats do it, small and petite.  

The Yawning Ride

Whilst the boys were busily yawning at the start of the ride this morning, the girls took advantage and totally owned the road!
