Lucky, lucky TdF riders: about to hit that 50km climb, ever increasing in gradient. Oh - for hills like that here! Who has the legs today?
Saturday 17 July 2010
2 bottles is not enough fluid for a 93km ride - even in the middle of winter! Guess this simulated the pain of summer quite well though 
Tuesday 13 July 2010
Stage 9... here we go! Come on Aussies - if Cadel can climb that hill in yellow you can stay awake to watch it!
Saturday 10 July 2010
Nice day on the trails. Nice dinner in the city. Brought home desert. Coverage of first mountain stage of TdF about to begin. Good times! 
Tuesday 6 July 2010
Swimming with pain free left shoulder. First time since small incident in January - hurrah!

Seems we have to visit Bali next month. Tragedy! Booked flights before checking TdF schedule but luckily there is no overlap. Phew!
Sunday 20 June 2010
We should do the 'whites & lights' laundry more often. Thought I'd lost a few tees that have been festering in the basket!
Friday 11 June 2010
Just read, "Back in 1990..." and thought, "That's not so long ago", then saw, "Only 20 years later..." (referring to the present) OMG!

Study shelving is done! Thanks to those who helped with drilling of holes and chopping of wood. There's beer waiting here for you!

Caffeine: "SEO gurus working frantically to figure out how best to game it to their advantage" Or just publish relevant content perhaps?

Deepwater Horizon http://is.gd/cxUnZ "deepest oil well in the world", "5000 feet deeper than design spec" The stupidity makes me feel sick!
Tuesday 1 June 2010
Beginning to feel almost human again. Urgh - maybe that's speaking too soon
Saturday 29 May 2010
Couldn't finish hanging shelving 2.0 as a certain fasteners store is closed Saturdays. And need a kip before tonight's Giro stage.
Sunday 23 May 2010
Had to mount the pavement this morning avoiding a head on between 2 other cars (both totalled). Lucky escape! Wish drivers took more care

Environmental news is depressing enough to make anyone turn off. Resist the urge: Take it in & do your bit to make the world a better place!
Thursday 13 May 2010
Irony: electrical store using environmental clips to demo flat screen TVs. All 100 or so of them!

Wow - isn't it amazing how much better your system runs without a 10 year old graphics driver? Doh! <:o)
Saturday 8 May 2010
Just finished parts orders (10 of 'em) for a complete bike build. This thing is going to be schweet! Can't wait - and it's not even for me!
Thursday 6 May 2010
Aus 9th on 'absolute impact' list: http://is.gd/bVTbj Disgusting! R U on 100% green power? Do U refuse 2 drive 2 work? If not shame on you!
Tuesday 4 May 2010
Only from a gov. dept: 'Online payment' == PDF form download, complete, submit via JS which just hangs. Great! At least it mailed a receipt.
Monday 26 April 2010
Pratiwi presenting lunch mountain of rice & veggies upon my return from riding: "It's OK if you can't finish it all." LOL... how sweet
Saturday 24 April 2010
176km, 2251m, 7858 calories (yeah - right!). Little ride to Bumble Hill with 2 loons == Ouch! http://connect.garmin.com/activi...

Sysadmin tip: when duplicating root FS to another device, mount said device before starting your (what will otherwise be recursive) copy

Brrrr! Winter is here. Straight into shower after evening training ride home. No need to cool down first. P.S. Sydney weather: Fine, 20C
Sunday 11 April 2010
Read in X10 review 'cons': "No secondary video-call camera (or videocalling whatsoever)" But who actually uses video calling on a mobile?
Sunday 4 April 2010
"is:unread" the most useful thing you can type into Gmail
Monday 29 March 2010
Mont24 - pretty much repeat of last year. Only with female support, faster laps, more rest and no rain. What's not to love about that?
Thursday 25 March 2010
Vote for DH! Well, it's only a newspaper poll, but still - MTB in the Blue Mountains should be encouraged: http://nobmob.com/node/13975

Aussie gov. Internet filter? Always thought it wouold be useless. Don't bother! Summed up well here: http://whirlpool.net.au/news/?id...
Monday 8 March 2010
First fast-ish ride since ski trip: smash out a PB on my training route home. The result of high altitude training? Or just lots of rest?
Friday 5 March 2010
Stats from recent ski Japan: 285km in 5 days beats last trip's 280km in 6 days. Little less overall vertical, but average and max. more 
Wednesday 3 March 2010
Back from Tokyo. Thoughts: Tsukiji is amazingly interesting - crazy place! Yodobashi Camera in Akihabara also fantastic. Yes - nerdy!
Friday 26 February 2010
One may be in the wrong lane to eat when no names or menus outside restaurants. Maybach parked here also a clue. New Torigin a lucky find
Friday 26 February 2010
Goodbye Shiga Kogen. Until next time! 5 days of sunny skiing - Done. 285km & over 28,000m vertical - Done. Time to go play in Tokyo now
Wednesday 24 February 2010
Getting quite warm here in Shiga Kogen, but still a great day on the slopes. 72km and almost 7000m vertical covered today
Sunday 21 February 2010
What a perfect day on the slopes of Shiga Kogen. 50km & 5,432m vertical will do for a start This + buffet + Onsen + Shochu = Happy Rob
Saturday 20 February 2010
Arrive Ichinose. Lie in steaming Onsen facing slopes & watch last runs of the day. Fuel up on monster buffet. Tomorrow will be out there!
Thursday 18 February 2010
Am about to get on overnight flight. It should be that the last few days lack of sleep make it easier to nap. Not optimistic though.
Wednesday 17 February 2010
Someone has been quoted in the Manly Daily 3 times in the last couple weeks! http://is.gd/8xsBl http://is.gd/8xsGo http://is.gd/8xsJC
Sunday 14 February 2010
Another 200km week makes it 4 in a row Aren't these meant to get easier though? Least it's time to taper for some upcoming snow fun

Just replaced lower headset bearing on the commuter bike. Suppose it's time to ride said bike to an office somewhere now? TFIF!
Sunday 7 February 2010
Got home from riding today to find GF had cooked a dish involving Black Pudding and Chocolate Tart for desert. How lucky am I?
