Headed out to Sterling with some of the Scuzzi boys, and met the Burg up there.

Micheal Mathews = Class act! I called it at the 250 mark when the pack past us (burg as my witness) and he just opened it up and smashed some veteran Pro's!

Some great photos of the day @Cycling Tips

CYCLE LINGO

Cycling Tips has some cracking TDU lingo translations, that are def worth reading for a laugh, some of my favourites are below. See Cycling Tips for more.

Campag = rare and expensive bike parts, once used many years ago by the Pro peloton, and spoken about in hushed tones by old-timers, which also helped pay for the LBS owner’s Porsche.

Checkers = a hill outside of Adelaide that is, like everything else in Adelaide, a lot smaller than it’s hyped up to be.

Cipo = a mythical creature who once ruled Europe, said to have the ability to impregnate women simply by staring at them

Monocoque = a single male with an unhealthy and unnatural interest in carbon fibre technology.

Rickshaw (Mark) = a two wheel vehicle used to carry short grumpy English tourists to the front of a race.
