    No, it is not possible to trackstand at the top of burgundy st (the
    ~15%, IIRC, kicker) in 32/12 (?) when the lights turn red. Yes, there
    is a small benefit to having a triple on the front.

    Thanks to GPLama, my rear derailleur cable is now fixed, and the
    derailleur is now changing a heck of a lot better than what it has
    been for weeks. I probably should have investigated the lousy
    changing before. OTOH, I did find the cable outers need a good
    scrubbing too. How bout I just clean the bike?

    Interesting cramps towards the end -- I had been limited to using the
    front derailleur since about Greensborough, so got some nice strength
    straining[1] in.

    [1] Tyop left for appropriateness.

    yes - many lol's were had when I pulled up next to you and I hear "oh, that was it" while you held the gear cable clear of the lever!

    I was hoping it had broken at the easy end.

    There must be a law of physics that says it must always break within
    the housing such that you can't get the thing out.

    At least this time I didn't lose the barrel adjuster bits.

    The loop today was a touch over 100kpc. I think my legs need a

    What for? You only had to worry about wind resistance for a femtoparsec or
    so.

    It's a bit of a killer uphill to start, but the trick is to keep some
    anaerobic capacity for the next bit. It's awesome altitude training though.

    [1]it's actually bloody close to 100kpc around, astronomically speaking.

    Yeahbut the gravitational potential well as I passed near the
    supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy was quite the
    kicker!

    Or a trip to the Clouds of Magellan and back. Hands on experience for
    my thesis, you see.

    What's that? Oh, I think I hear the faint whimperings of my neglected
    thesis.
