After reading Teddy Kings bingle, my bullhorn and passenger side mirror incident at 40km+ yesterday on Hoddle St doesn't seem so bad ... still rather cranky about it though. Hate to be out there in countryside dealing with those freaking gales at the mo.

Went up to Michelton for the start this morning to drool over all the carbon. Think I may have had the only aluminium bike there. Pity the riders on the deep aero rims today with that wind; mostly cross and tail. Don't know who had the Zipp 808 wheels, but that bike would have taken some handling for sure. First time I've seen a stage race go past. 6 police cars and 9 police bikes plus around a dozen road scouts on motorbikes and too many others to mention in cars. Who was in the chopper? I heard it was Gerry Ryan of Jayco. Wonder if Jayco will toss in to help sponsor an Aussie Continental team? Halcyon
