YPR#22 – Yarra Boulevard
Well, this was kinda 2 rides.
Morning – Keith, Al, HP, Nick, Yang and I introduced Wayne and his new entry level Giant (taking bets on how long before he upgrades) into the world of driver abuse, tight lycra, freezing cold mornings and snot rockets. We did have a route mapped out but because it was so freaking cold from the morning fog/dew, we all decided to cut it short and sit in a coffee shop instead. Event of the morning was Nick’s altercation with a rock on Yarra Blvd, with Nick and his bike coming out worse off. I didn’t see it all happen but when I heard the girly scream I turned around and managed to see Nick on the ground with his bike bouncing about a metre in the air towards the Yarra. Miraculously aside from torn gloves, the rest of his lycra stayed pretty much intact. His bike however was not quite as fortunate but the dent in the top tube does appear only to be cosmetic (according to the frame experts in our group 
). Anyway, he now also has plenty of road rash to brag about (hopefully the rest of you checked out okay).
Afternoon – DJ, HP and I went for a quick trip down to Mordy. The original plan was maybe Frankston but after remembering that nobody had a damn pedal wrench, we had to take the Shogie down to the LBS (local bike store) to get the pedals swapped over. (HY, can I borrow you wrench to swap them back please?). Anyway, I think DJ has improved a lot fitness and tactics wise since his last visit, given that he gladly let HP and I work into the headwind on the way down only to leave us for dead on the way back. It was also the first time in a long time that I’d bonked on a ride… oh well, more km’s next weekend!
Keith was ultra keen for a Mt Dandy run this morning and although I wanted to join him I decided that I couldn’t be stuffed waking up early again. Will try to get up tomorrow for the NRR instead.
Next weekend’s weather’s looking good atm… *fingers crossed*

didn’t do much over the weekend in terms of sightseeing but just hit the clubs. we walked the entire city in half an hour. unfortunately the shooting range was closed and ice was melting at the bob sleigh complex.
Admin: I shuffled images again, and I’m not sure if James’s captions make sense anymore.
Happy Birthday HPG – aka father of qweop (and possibly a few others that we don’t know about)
