Hey kids,

Just a myriad of thoughts-i may just post twice to keep your eyes from straining!

I caught up with Kiwi in oz tonight at the pub to watch the Ab's vs Springbok game...At least the springbok showed up this week and scored two tries!!!
(gee percy montgomery's kinda cute) She;s a lovely lady!

KG-I understand where you're coming from. Even on a road bike i'm still slower than ian & our bike friends. (I have to lead when we're riding as i still suck at drafting.) I have figured out that no matter how fast i go, i'll still be slower so I go as fast as I can & work from there. If i keep working at it, who knows i might actually be able to keep up with them! (Ian says i'm improving speed wise& i can see the difference off road too. Now if left hand turns would just be a bit easier at night!!!)

I was babbling there sorry-What i'm trying to say is, don't panic if you're not as fast as Erik. Perhaps you need to ride on your own & join him on one bike ride a week. On the days you ride alone, work on the hills, speed & distance & who knows one day you'll pass dear Erik!!!

About the weather-i need to find the conversion chart on my computer for F to Celcius...I keep on thinking abuot the days i used to watch Willard Scott on NBC today & got used to the conversion...
