  1. Carnegie/Caulfield have published the winter road calender,
    but it's scant on for details re Modella (flat or hilly?)
    and there's a disapointingly large number of races at
    the Casey Field crit track in Cranbourne. Hrm. On
    the good side, CCCC are running Philip Island again, which
    was a great course last year, and also the Anglesea proving
    grounds. No mention of the Lang Lang proving ground though,
    which is a shame. It was a very interesting course. There's
    no Summers race either, which may be a blessing - it wasn't
    very safe last year and wasn't really a big enough course for
    large fields.

    Here it is. I'm nagging Mal Sawford to find out about the Modella
    variant. For those that don't know, there's two courses
    at Modella, one goes through the foothills around Lang Lang, and one is
    almost dead
    flat (and windy!)

  2. I think that I did the Somers course last year, would have been fine if
    they had a whole road closure.

    On and that was the race that I ended up stacking into ditch when some
    nuffy grabbed way to much brakes and did a flicky endo. I dived out of
    teh way but couldn't keep it upright in the ditch...

    Bad news for us flatlanders ... the Modella races will all be on the
    hilly course due to extended roadworks on the flat route.

    Must turn 90kg sprinter into 65kg climber ... *doh*

    Hills - sweeeeeeeeeet! So long as there are no sharp corners less than 1 km apart I'll be smiling (or is that climber's grimace, sucking in more air??) 😄

    Ah, surely you can't begrudge the non-gravity-challenged the chance at
    some form of glory?

    If only ... all the long road races are hilly except the warny, all the
    tours are hilly ... lazy heavy sprinters have none of the fun!

    Hopefully tomorrow's Sale -> Bairnsdale won't be too hilly 🙂

    I've got one, he's an argumentitive, opinionated (bordering on
    arrogant!) [censored] who makes me ride all sorts of bloody stupid things
    that don't suit my hulking great lardy frame.

    He can't stop me eating CHIPS and icecream though!

    He needs to get you running, that'll strip off some weight!
