So despite being a formerly complete un-co I managed to go 15 months before having my first crash at speed. 2 Saturday's ago I was riding from Sydenham to Miranda and hit the deck on the Grand Parade…Continue

"Once all missing links are built in Sydney (M/F6, M4 East, M2-F3) there will be very little road spending required in future budgets. It will all be about improving the xisting road network and wholesale rail construction which will only be about…"

"The novelty of riding the harbour bridge last year more than wore off trying to stay upright in the 40-50kmh cross winds without being able to form an echelon ;). I would have been riding Western Sydney this year. Unfortunately no such luck."

"Jones' beef so far is with the set-up of the lanes and the cost to businesses in an area. He's playing the ball well rather than the man."

First crash :(

So despite being a formerly complete un-co I managed to go 15 months before having my first crash at speed. 2 Saturday's ago I was riding from Sydenham to Miranda and hit the deck on the Grand Parade Bike Path thanks to a massive area/pool of sand at the bottom of the first chicane down from roadside path to beachside path near the Novotel. Obviously I now recognise the danger of this sand, should I report it to someone? Who is responsible for the path, council or RTA? Any suggestions for…See More

"Probably not this route. But I plan on moving to the Inner West and getting rid of my car next year (will join a car share for the longer trips). Then I'll ride daily."

Giant OCR 1. Purchased November 2008. Has now done about 300km.
About Me:
I have been following road cycling since probably 2004, Lance's 6th Tour de France and the Athens Olympics. my mates started riding in early 2008 and convinced me to buy a bike in November. I'm a bigger guy so I have no natural fitness for riding. Have now ridden every weekend for the last 6 weeks and have entered Sydney to the Gong.

My mates who convinnced me to start up have started a "Pro" team and we intend on enjoying ourselves immensely in all the major charity rides. The goal is to move in closer to the CBD and commute using a bike.

My other interests are politics, soccer (A-Lague, EPL, Socceroos), any other sport, travel and a little bit of gambling and drinking :).
