Bris I wouldnt shave them, they come back like a gorilla which is not a good look unless you want a career in the circus.

That sounds like a plan James. I am not 100% sure of the route they take past mornington which would be good.

Cool.

Shall we say Sat 17th - 8.30am at Catani Gardens in St Kilda?

We can come down Beach Rd and meet you at your place Saff - and head to Portsea for lunch.

We'll need 2x cars for support crew - who can be convinced?

that date sounds good James. Are you talking about cycling down from St Kilda to mine or driving? Doesnt bother me if you are driving but cant have you guys getting in extra KM's than me!

Might just have to cycle out to meet you all then cycle back past!

Latest update following yesterdays group training ride.

Went over to Williamstown on the punt and had a coffee before coming back via Docklands and St Kilda. Fantastic weather and good effort by all. I cannot however comment on the shenanigans below! ;)

Why is James wearing boots?

I would also like to know this :P

James doesnt have access to this site anymore as it seems the IT dept blocked him hence his lack of explanations :lol:

Ah - top training effort team!

All those international cyclists injecting horse tranqs into (one of) their c*cks have nothing on our good Aussie carb-loading styles.

We put out a combined 160km - and put in about 160L of carbs.

We rock!

Bass: It was my audition for the next Jessica Simpson video clip.

I'll show you the photos where I wash the General Lee tomorrow :P

Was top day. You all missed out.

I spoke to a man who has 2 penis's (penii?) - quite possibly the most interesting total stranger ever. This is what cycling is all about!

OK - for training round 2...

It is about 80km to Bittern, or Stoney Point (HMAS Cerberus).

There is a ferry to Cowes.

I'll find out what times it goes and all that sort of stuff.

Will be about a 4hr ride. Easy as sucking beers in the sun.

We WILL need Team Wang support at the other end to get the bikes and riders home. Will pop a post into the PI thread to see if anyone is going down in a tow-capable vehicle. Otherwise - someone can drive Boris down with the bike-rack on.

Go team!

OK - Ferry is at 5.00pm. Costs $13 (one-way including bike)

Whereis.com says from St Kilda to Crib Point is about 65km (using Nepean Hwy).

Too easy!

I say we leave St Kilda at 12.00pm - and we'll be in Cowes in time for Snowy to have cooked us dinner! Any other starters?

They only have 1 ferry all day? 15kph is quite a reasonable rate to be going and not taking into account any mechanical/alcohol/burger stops. How far is it the other side as well?

Ferry is at 8.00am, 12-noon and 5.00pm

Trip across is 30mins

It takes about 2 hours to get to Frankston - and that's over half way.

If there is an emergency - the train station is right there, so we have an escape plan :D

What about if we comute down to snowies place and leave from there all the way to the island. It's 103km Too much I guess. Lets go with Plan A.

But now I have to get to St.Kilda on my way to phillip island. seems silly.

Cycle :O

I say we leave 6am Sat morning, get the 12pm ferry, then get back accross at 5pm so i can get my flight to Sydney...how does that sit with you guys

Sounds like a great idea but as for you being up the right side of 9am, that could put the plan into self destruct mode :lol:

I am happy to leave at 6am, see what J and C want to do. B)

Since this whole malformed idea was mine - I'm hearing the words of a great scholar of our time ringing in my ears:

"Son, your ego's writing cheques your body can't cash"

Team A (Saff and I) just cashed in almost 200km of those cheques by riding to Philip Island yesterday, and returning today. Hard work. I need a new ass.

Team B (Bris and Chris) transported their bikes and a large photocopier to PI and punched out a big cycle circuit from Woolami to Cowes and back. Not quite as hardcore, but they are less fluro than Team A, and Bris had a flat.

Our backup coach sat on the couch watching footy and barking orders all day :P

With 3-weeks to go until D-Day - my current assessment is that we're f*cked. 210km in about 11hrs is a loooong, hard road to glory. But - there have been great strides in modern medicine in the last few years, so perhaps I can get a J-Lo style ass-transplant in time.

I'll post some photos - but they're all business, and nowhere near as exciting as last week. There were more hills too.

On the up side - I saw a Lancia Montecarlo and a Rarri 575 rag on the way home. Sweet.

    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.    
    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
