Ladies first.
Local Trackstar Monique has just Raced her way across America with Team Type 1.
Congratulations, Monique!
Naturally there just has to be a 'fixie' team.
In the spirit of one-upmanship, I challenge them to ride it' brakeless with backpacks' in 2009.
While you're at it, throw in some sharp clearances and tight angles...
Fixies - like nails on a chalkboard.
Someone say pink?!
Order yours now - even if it is summer when it lands.
MELBURN: DISC Velodrome
Local Track Racing
Blow the cobwebs out of your lungs, and get back into track!
No matter what club you are associated with, you can race Tuesday and Thursday nights, and Sunday afternoons.
Or by appointment you can ride Wednesday nights and get shouted at.
For the former, 'but I don't have a bike' IS NOT A VALID EXCUSE!
Club bikes are available, so all you need to bring is a helmet.
The atmosphere is warm, the temperature indoors is slightly cooler, but whatever you choose, it's all good fun - and dry fun at that.
Roller Derby NEXT FRIDAY
I Love...
People who get off their tails and make things happen.
Nik C is one of those people in Raincouver.
Check out the photos.
We're not worthy?
It has been atleast a month since I stuck my head in the FIXEDGEARGALLERY.
Perhaps a TRACKBIKEGALLERY would please me more as they are what turns my head - Sharp clearances, steep angles, no brakes.
No longer do I click with excitement with a see so-and-so's MASI .
There is however a BT on at the moment which makes me wonder when Turbo's submission might ever appear (submitted months ago).
Turbo is hangin' to see it alongside the so-and-so's Bianchi .
This did whet my appetite though - so all hope is not lost. Not yet.
You dont need to speak Italian, French or German to understand that the Tour De France is the most epic, unpredictable saga on wheels.

O'Grady building back up

Less than a year ago, Stuart O'Grady was facing a possible end to his cycling career when he had a very bad crash on the eighth stage of the Tour de France. The Australian fractured five ribs, his right shoulder blade, right collar bone, three vertebrae and punctured his right lung.
The Team CSC rider worked hard to regain full fitness and posted some encouraging results this spring, placing fifth in Paris-Roubaix and eighth in Gent-Wevelgem. More bad luck was in store, though, with the 34 year-old crashing out of the Giro d'Italia with a broken collarbone in May.
But O'Grady has shown his toughness once again, taking part in the Tour de Suisse and placing 11th on stage four. He told Cyclingnews at the end of Wednesday's fifth stage that he was satisfied with how things were progressing. "The race is going pretty well, although it is pretty hard. It was nice to see the sun today, that gives a bit of a boost. Everything has come along well."
When asked if he felt like things are on course prior to the Tour de France, he sounded positive. "Things are getting better every day. I am really starting to notice the form picking up in the last few days. There has been a lot of suffering but I am getting there," he responded.
Mmmmmmm. Like the look of this?

RIDE SAFE - WEAR A HELMET - SEE YOU NEXT WEEK
