WARNING. DO NOT LOOK DIRECTLY AT 'THE BONE'
Witch Dr used more pins for added bad mojo for Cadel "oogabooga" Evans bad bogies in French Alps. House Madam Wuzzle not delighted with childhood toy used for rituals (Gosh was I impressed with the fluent use of the French language AND during the TDF as well though. Timing!) but Goats much too expensive and hut has cream colored carpet...
Witch Dr need busier village or hobby.
Bone in freezer till TDU. Meat bits squishy to touch now.

But what about the mental linkages we will have? Not linking the two is like trying to un-see G*org* Hincap*'s spaghetti leg.AUbicycles wrote:If Womble gets his login probs sorted... I promise I will not link the 2nd Womble posts to original (and saner) womble.

Any they have given BNA five sets to give away.... you just need to answer a question, could be hard for some, but I want to know the name of the first Australian cyclist to win the Tour de France (overall GC victory). Don't say it... you may give others a hint, you can enter here:

Though there was so much about the event that was amateursville, like having Cadel on stage for 5 minutes or so before giving him a chance to open his mouth...and asking the audience to thank the interviewer, oh and Cadel. I mean the interviewer did a 4/10 job. Would have been good to get someone who understood the sport. The crowd seemed to be very aware of the key stage struggles, and it would have been great to hear more from Cadel about what was going on in his head during those moments. Anyways, good on Melbourne and Victoria for putting something on at short notice. I appreciate it wouldn't have been easy.

I thought he did a fine job. He did talk about what was going on esp during the mtn stages. Hard to talk about all these things in a 5 minute segment. And am unsure how Cadel was comfortable talking about it too esp to a crowd of unknowns and not "intimates"

Was thinking the same thing Even if you put PED's to the side, Virenque at 36 all time please . I'm sure there are plenty of other "discussion" pointsRedbull wrote:Man that is a list of "discussions" just waiting to happen.
