For those heading down south for training camps in the next few weeks, remember to pack that good ol'bottle of baby oil!
The week has been busy with the usuals. Lots of riding and more working. The work week sucked, being salaried and doing more hours than you are supposed to does not work. Thankfully, the boss wasn't around so the slacking got pretty healthy!
The riding was pretty awesome. My request for Mt. Tamborine came through this sunday. 140km in near death like humidity. We ended up getting plagued by flat tires and I ended up spending the 25km before the hill chasing at 45km/h. The hill was awesome. Steady riding, beautiful rainforest views and knarly birds making crazy noises. Half way up is an entrance for a Jurassic Park with a big pterodactyl. It has you looking around, thats for sure! The only regret was descending like a Grandma on the sketchy descent. Because of the rainforest humidity the roads were very wet and slippery. My Lack of insurance and nearing Thailand trip restricted the speed to 60 odd km/h. Although it felt much faster because of the vibrations from the bad roads! 12 water bottles later we were home!
Another 100km ride on monday which was also australia day to Mt. Mee. Pissing rain and more brutal humidity . We decided not to climb the hill. The climb would be fine but the descent would have been too sketchy. We stopped at a bakery! It ended up being a perfect ride, my legs were sore from Tamborine and the hard work in the wind on the way back.
Just getting back into town waiting at a light a white truck pulled up behind us blaring stupid loud music. The driver pulled up a little more and shouted "HEY! You from Bermuda" (I was wearing my bermuda Jersey). I shouted back yes and I could definitely recognize the guy, probably from school. He then answered back, "You went to Saltus enna?" The light went green and he drove away. I still can't remember the guy's name but I'm pretty sure we were in the same grade. It's a small world and Bermudians are EVERYWHERE!
Anywho, off to Thailand tomorrow. Hanging in Bangkok for a few days and then taking the train south before making our way back up.
Should be some good stories, stay posted

OK so we got pictures of your knees - although the tanline differential is impressive.
What about the Darth Maul cranium. After the "accidental" beaning and taking it down to the wood we were expecting to see some funky tan lines up top!
