    Blood Racing. How fast do you bleed?

    First time I've been able to donate since I broke my collarbone in April last year, crossed the finish line with a 4:47, no squeezing or rolling, just a good flow. 2nd quickest that nurse had ever seen, best for her was a 4:36. BP was 123/73, resting was 54bpm (highest I've seen in ages...

    Depends where it is, but parking spots go for >$30K in the city. How many can fit onto that slice of land?

    What car do you drive?

    Had a Subaru Liberty B4 twin turbo AWD, two bikes, wheels off, across the back seat, no probs, lots of up and down the east coast trips, averaged 10L/100km. Moved onto a BMW 335i twin scroll turbo sedan, couldn't get a towbar for it (@$2k you can blow me BMW) so went with roofracks...

    Cyclocross - whats the point?

    Due to time restrictions from family commitments I bailed on racing MTB this year and instead went the CX route as there's a good 10+ races within an hour or less from home spread over a good 6 month period and all with entry fees significantly less than MTB races. Having a ball, racing in...

    Advice from a Sparky.

    FIL just had a sparky over to put in a socket for him to plug his caravan into the night before he sets off so he can get the fridge cold. He was gutted when the sparky told him he had to rewire the illegal air conditioning power connection that was tapping the mains prior to the meter...

    Blood Racing. How fast do you bleed?

    Missed a couple of donations earlier in the year due to a virus. Got back into the groove today and racked up a 5:18, resting pulse was 48, BP was 131/82.

    Balance Bike Build

    Just on $1k. And for wheels, check out ebay and Amazon - both have them as items regularly listed. The aussie supplier I had FTR order mine from no longer stock them apparently.

    The Beer Economy

    Haven't been in the beer economy for a long time, used to have slabs in the back of the car specifically for it. Recently paid a 6 pack for the loan of a BOGear Royd bag to transport a track bike from Melbourne back home to Brisbane. And not long after that got paid a 6 pack for organising...

    Balance Bike Build

    That Jumper is pretty light weight even before the conversion. Wonder how a Zelvy compares?
