Ross if you or your family ever read any of this [censored], sorry for any
embarrassment,
Ok so lets get serious ,
I want to put together a picture of the cycle tours that Ross did, during
the 80's and 90's
so if you've every met him on his rides or know him today let me know,
put ROSS in the subject header of the email so I won't trash it,
[email hidden]
no spam please,

when I first met him at Wodonga, Victoria as part of 2 legs of the big
ride
in '82, he was 20 (I think), and had done most of New Zealand and
highway
one around oz.,
I last met him in Jan 87, and hed been through India - pakastain ,
indonesia, - laos , peru - brazil, and was talking about doing england -
turkey and into russia
in the last letter where he said he was getting married, he also said he
hadnt made russia as there was too many hassles with visas so he'd gone
across north africa instead.
In Australia I know he'd done Queensland - Victoria return 6 times using
different routes, and was really keen on desert tracks, he was [censored]
one year because they wouldn't give him permission to ride through the
warburton mission on his way from WA - Alice Springs , so he got a lift
through that area in a van.and was upset because now he couldn't say he'd
done that road.
I know when he left here one year he went up to Mildura and followed the
darling river up to Queensland ,
I used to tease him about the out of the way places he got too, and he
impressed the hell out of me one day by telling me the history of some of
the desert tracks, he'd been on, how they'd been camel tracks and used by
the miners chaseing gold,
Told me about one miner who last century cycled through the desert having
to backtrack all the time to bring up extra water from springs, so that in
the end he was travelling 3-4x the distance,
He was always on about people not knowing their alive, how he was going
places on the bike, like the darling river, where people had gone on foot
a
hundred years ago,
when we were out on rides his pet hate was the big 4 wheel drive, city
cowboys,

So thats some of my more sensible memories of Ross, Let me know yours,

==================================================================================

I wonder. If your old riding friend Ross is found and he is a sellout,
corporate pig, are you still interested. He was 20 in 1982. That's makes
him 43/44. He is probably carrrying a briefcase, wearing a three piece
suit, driving around in the biggest SUV on the planet.

Tell us. If you find your old friend and he is a complete phony, sellout,
corporate pig with a big car.

That is a story. That would be interesting. Then, the question would be
why.

you have some serious issues with your life- matey
related to -
breast feeding or penis envy
choose one
or in your case possibly both,.with a general disenchantment with your life
thrown in
if you bothered reading you'd find I have taken things off line..

hurl abuse to my email instead of wasting this groups time,

when the 'viagra - penis enlargement - get laid tonight' spam arrives I'll
know where it came from.

remember: - one foot goes down as the other comes up - practice - otherwise
( as you've no doubt found ) you've thrown yourself over the handlebars,

Dear Purvis, Ross and I have been laughing out loud every time we see one of
your emails to this bicycle news group.

Ross told me this am, as he left in his brand new Austin Martin, for his job
at the international center of money exchange that he actually never liked
you. In fact, he felt you were a loser.

He would email directly but he is way too busy.

One thing, get on with your life. Time to move on.

You wouldn't know the Ross of today. He weighs 400 lbs, smokes three packs
a day, and drinks like a fish.

Hey, that's life.
