Brumby’s chicks rock. Especially the Hawthorn ones. So happy so early in the morning. Still happy in the arvo. Sneaking in freebies when you buy muffins and freebies with the hedgehog.
I think I’m in love..

Lost!
I can’t believe I got lost riding home!
I spotted a gap in traffic and decided to take the Mont
Albert road option from Burke. Got to the end and found the street wasn’t a through road.
I decided to explore and went along Standard Ave and found Surrey Dive. Rolled up to what I thought was Elgar Rd. which would lead me to Whitehorse Rd. and after a bit of travel I realised I was heading BACK TO WORK on Cantebury Rd!! Fark I’m daft!!
Corrected my mistake at Union road and continued on HOME,
spotting a LeTour rider who mentioned he was doing ATB.
At home had a nice glass of:
Water + 2tsp Glucodin + 2tsp Saline
I wish I could ride like this kid..
I’m probably 4 times his age and he’d kick my arse!
Bike Polo?
One of my non-riding friends (thanks Nelsie!) mentioned it to me! Some dudes are starting to play bikepolo on a field in Richmond. I’m gonna give it a go and if I live and I’m not a total embarassment I might do it more than once. I went to Bunnings last night and bought some dowel and a block of wood to construct a mallet from.. if only I could find my cordless drill..
I’ve named the mallet “Carl” after the helpful bloke in the wood department at Bunnings Croydon.
Still need a shitter to ride so I don’t trash my singlespeed. PiledHigher and BikeSoiler have offered up old mtb options.
axlesofevil.org has some bikepolo info as does bikepolo.com.

O.Symetric “Harmonic” Chainrings
“Those chainrings are called Harmonic, and they offer a larger gear ratio when the crank is horizontal than when it is vertical (the opposite of Biopace). I asked Bobby Julich about them, and he referred me to the company’s website. And lest you think they are a revival of the old Biopace design, Julich says “they are the furthest thing from what Shimano had!”” Velonews Techtalk
