Went for my first ride using Strava yesterday. Victor Harbor - Goolwa and return. Was a good ride overall, though the last 5km were hard, especially as the final km or so feels near vertical to me.I…Continue

Looks like it's illegal for me to lead my dog through a railway crossing too.
I'll have to unleash her next time.
There should be a law against too many laws.
As for the rent-a-cop, tell em your name is…"

Specialised Roubaix replied to Notthefirst Brett's discussion Spoiler Protocol"I am finally in the process of watching stage 21 of the Giro, if sbs keeps broadcasting cycling I will be a few years behind before I know it.

Carry on folks."
"Thanks for the sentiment, it means a lot to me.
How about I spoil tonight's stage by predicting who wins tonight - now that would be a spoiler-and-a-half?
Phillippe Gilbert wins Stage 2!!!!!"
Juz replied to Notthefirst Brett's discussion Spoiler Protocol"Wow - now THAT reply lacks any courtesy or respect, Brett. ET isn't the only one to have presented this opinion, why attack him so personally?"
Notthefirst Brett replied to Notthefirst Brett's discussion Spoiler Protocol"Spot on about the abuse thing, which was part of the reason for my OP. I don't live or die over a result, but we can avoid disappointed race fans and abused innocents with a simple courtesy."

Do you know of any bikes sold in Australia that fit my requirements?
