    I'll be there. I'm a bit nervous of the fact that it's the last race
    for the season. May mean the riders take more risks to get a win.

    I'll be the official BR cheer leader.. and bouncer for anyone who
    unfairly takes out any BR rider, there is a nice drop off to the river
    just after the hairpin which could be used to take care of such people 😉

    I'll be there too, but wussing out of racing (next season maybe). Give
    me a "B", give me an "R", give me a ... oh bugger that's a pretty short
    cheer. Better work on that.

    the mopin bit or the being on a monday?
    would be good to see you out on a BR.
    see you tonight at kew? last one.
    hopefully i make some progress...

    The ridin' bit. But if it really is an all-MTB affair, then I'm out I'm afraid. No 26-inchers in my shed. 🙁 Actually I haven't got a shed either, but you know...

    See you tonight (stick around for the barbie that's supposed to be on after).

    Cheers,
    Craigster.

    Yes the old dear has got what looks like Moon boots (WTB VelociRaptor
    2.1 Comps, compared to the Hutchie 1"ers)on for some fun in the
    Grampians.

  9. If anyone wants to be picked up along the way (Brett, DaveA, ??) drop in
    a msg on where you'll be so we know to look out for you. If we leave
    Doncaster at 7:20ish should get to Greensborough KFC around 8am
    (assuming there's no headwind coming up Greensborough Rd, I hate that).

  10. Ok I'll be there on Monday. I'm actually glad the pace will be down, as my right quad is killing from last night. I'll still be on my road bike.

    Ok so it sounds like FR Friday and MTB Monday (does that mean it should
    be SS Saturday). I'll leave it to the fixie guys to worry about FR. How
    about on MTB Monday (road bikes welcome) we meet at the usual spot at
    7:20am. Ride down Manningham Rd to Heidelberg then out the reverse route
    to Diamond Ck. Regroup at Diamond Ck and decide whether to break there
    or Hurstbridge or Smiths Gully then continue the reverse route back to
    Doncaster.

    Hang on.. What's this reverse-route stuff?!
    You mean I've got to ride the SS _UP_ that 90kph downhill?
    No fscking way! ('scuse me French)

    I've got to swap out my [censored] bald tyres and over-tighten the notchy,
    "self-steering" headset. Then I have to set the alarm for 6 _PM_
    'accidentally'.. 😉

    Hey! I'll have you know the time I set the alarm for 5:30pm was
    *purely* accidental! I was actually looking forward to the ride that
    week!

    Hey did you mention Myers-Briggs tests a while back?

    Well let's see...

    E: Because anyone who blogs their heart and soul on the internet for all to see MUST be an extrovert. 😄
    S: Frequent use of the 'Just f***ing Google It' page suggests a penchant for raw fact rather than intuition, so definite Sensing.
    T: Because you're in IT right? I think everyone I know who's done an MBTI test who's in IT is a thinker. No woolly, touchy-feeling for us.
    P: Difficult one. My gut feel for someone with a planned and effective training routine would normally be judging, but to jack in your job and head to Europe? A desire for a flexible and reactive lifestyle suggests Perception.

    Am I right? 😉

    and anyone who grows something like this <strokes evil goatee mess> on
    their face and doesn't seem bothered by it must be extroverted. 🙂

    Hmm.. yeah that's sounds kinda right to me.. but according to this I'm a
    slight 'N'. The test is flawed! 😉
    Actually, I can't have used the JFGI page all that much because I only
    saw it recently. I do have a tendency to post "Google knows.." with a
    link to google results when the answer would be found quickly with a
    simple search. Even so, some of the resulting discussion is cool, even
    if googling would save everyone's time. 🙂

    Ja. 'T'. Person-centred concerns.. pah! 😉

    P it is. ENTP's "rarely sit still for long".

    Very close! I probably messed up the S/N questions 🙂

    Anyone up for a BR over Easter? Sunday is no good because I don't want
    to miss the Easter Bunny. How's Saturday or Monday? I like the sound of
    Saturday better.

    That was the shortest BR for me. Not a very big group either.. 1.
    I'm so glad I swapped the tyres, cleaned and lubed the mtb, got all my
    gear ready, changed, packed 'everything', headed off towards Doncaster
    and THEN realised my single fscking bidon cage was empty. Fsck! Did I
    mention FSCK! Arrrrr!
