May your beers be cold and plentiful!

Dan hits the Two Five
Last night was Dan’s day of birth
25 years he’s been on this earth
Chapel Street for vodka aplenty
Saganaki* not a four and twenty
the Polish Bitches went down a treat
but not the type you’d find on the street
these were more of a cocktail variety
that reeked much havoc on our sobriety
down the hatch with a Rocket Fuel
“that’s 80% you bloody fool!”
Happy Birthday ended with “cheers!”
at the funky bar ‘Vodka Borsch and Tears’
*fried goat’s cheese.. Yum!
Awesome JJJ Beat The Drum entry!
Hightail Ale discovered as optimum post-ride recovery formula
“Hightail Ale discovered as optimum post-ride recovery formula”
CSIRO scientist Dr. Inkalot revealed today that the specially formulated brew contained the correct balance of carbohydrates, branch chain amino acids, electrolytes, secret herbs and spices and a very special compound known in the trade as “good beer”. Combined as they are, when ingested, these ingredients are absorbed by the body more
rapidly than water or sports drinks to provide the athlete with a super-dense, ultra-fast released source of muscle restoration and energy liberation.

If you are after an anti-car post you’re out of luck – this one was my fault – although if the car wasn’t there I wouldn’t have hit it would I? Hmm.. 😉
So I leave work and make it 1 whole block. Next thing I know my head is bouncing off the back of this black Honda and I’m sprawled over the intersection. That wasn’t supposed to happen?!
I can’t remember if I was looking at a nearby turning car or if I was deciding which side to pass the 4wd on or if I just wasn’t switched on but the car stopped and so did I, somewhat violently into its spare tyre case.
Thanks to the cyclist who stopped and asked if I was okay. Thanks to the drivers for not running me over while I was down. I decided to cut the ride short and just rode home, a little dazed, with a stiff neck and golf ball above my eye (yeah, luckily my head prevented any damage to my expensive helmet!). Mild concussion methinks with a neck sprain?
Bike seems okay but needs further checking when I can see straight 🙂
Gave my details to driver. Wait to see if they want money or if blood was sufficient.

That was a shit hot commute…
Doncaster Rd is heaps cooler than Maroondah Hwy.. bigger hills for faster speeds but the uphills don’t seem any worse!
I ‘sat on’ the best and worst types of “drafting” vehicles. The first was a tray-truck with a tray that was almost made for chopping the heads off close-following cyclists! (and I was CLOSE following!). The other was a common LandCruiser. The Toyota was just the right height to see through the front windscreen while making use of its ample size for wind pushing duties. I hooked up with that at just the right speed and sat on for ages! Weeeeeeeee!!
Also met a d.u.d.e with red/blue flasher on his backpack.. Cop stylee for $10 from Carribean Gardens 🙂

Now I sit back and wait for the Cervelo Team Soloist to arrive. I’ll probably spec some stronger wheels (Ultegra hubs, bigass DT spokes, Velocity Fusion rims) for it (I’m such a powerful sprinter I tear the spokes out of the hubs.. yeah right.. ).
