Yeah, those two have come up favourably in a few reviews, along with the Race King, Racing Ralph and Small Block 8. The more I read the further it seams I get from a decision. I've made my decision on the ride though and entered the Full Fling.Mugglechops wrote:I am running the Conti X-King on the front in a 2.4 and a Crossmark in 2.1 on the rear.

Now to celebrate this achievement, I've gone and signed up for a beginners crit race series my first race is Saturday morning....hope I survive because on Sunday morning I'm doing the bike leg in the Tri at Bribie as preparation for Noosa next month!!
Also the Fondriest frame has arrived and the surgery will be taking place next week.....only 2 weeks to get used to riding the new bike before Noosa!
What a week!

We are both a bit deep into the brown, do you think you can catch it?
With the wife's new job it is looking very unlikely for me but you never know

Scott 24hr MTB race this weekend, Sydney to Wollongong in 3 weeks then The Highland Fling 100km MTB race a week after should have me closer to green by the middle of November.bosvit wrote:+1Mugglechops wrote:Good job Lisa, love that gold bar.

Looking out the window it's snowing mixed with rain and it's 12 degrees inside! if Dave rides to work today today he's a legend.

On the plus side the rain did a great job of waking me up and I felt very refreshed when arriving at work. A nice change from the jetlagged feeling of the start of daylight savings from the past couple of days.

I am disappointed Dave - I thought they were tough down in the southern highlands. It's a good thing I don't live there or I would ride over to your place and call you namesDaveOZ wrote:Too much snow here so I won't be riding today.

Need to learn how to spell the name of the bike first
Über crazy busy week at work next week will mean not much riding and a delay in getting to the LBS for the final fit of the new bike

....... and great weather for a change.
Love the shadow shot but can't you get colour in the shadow?
One of my Strava segments (Suttor Sprint- Dave knows it) was interrupted by the train lights flashing. 2 good things- Campo brakes and seeing the steam trains. Will post photo if there are train desperados out there.

Earlier I made my way through a whole lot of goslings- just down Dave's road. Geese look cute when they are young.
Train with a double header is on its way to Robertson.
