NATIONAL TITLES TODAY 
Thursday, March 18, 2010, 07:55 AM
The Australian Junior National titles start this morning at DISC and are on until Saturday. If you want to see how really good these young riders are then get along to a session or two. I wish all those riding well and hope you each ride up to yours and your coaches expectations.

Spoke to Mick Cummings this morning and he told me Jack is excited and looking forward to racing. Rang Jack the other day to wish him and his team mates all the best.

As Mick said you cannot under estimate those you race against and must treat them with respect.

Good luck all and enjoy yourselves.

ANOTHER HISTORY LESSON 
Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 05:38 PM
If you pull up on Google 1959 Tour de France you will see some great footage but like me you probably won't understand the language. Col commented on the climbing styles but remember in 1959 they had 10 speed gears probably front combination 47/50 and 5 speed cluster 13, 51, 17, 19, 21. Perhaps something different but the range then was very limited as even Campag back then did not take up great slack in the chain.

Anyway might be of interest. There is some great footage on the system.

Cheers.

GOOD TO SEE

Good to see Lisa is going to be a blogger. I like reading what riders are doing. Enjoy reading Helen's reports as it gives other riders an insite into her racing, progress etc. Even top riders have good and bad days and meets that's the nature of the sport.

Ride safely.

BEEN TO HOSPITAL 
Wednesday, March 17, 2010, 12:46 PM
This morning Col took me to Box Hill Hospital for 6 week X-rays. Back next week to see the doctor on 25th March so should know more then. Feel fine but still hurts where lower break is on pelvis. Off to physio tomorrow so doing as much as I can. No point in getting uppity or depressed about current status, will just take it's time to mend properly.

Lady taking X-rays reckons Iám fit for my age. A nice complement but unfortunatly a lot of people my age are just so unfit due to life styles etc that they probably see few fit old cyclists or athelets.

Anyway cannot complain.
