Suicide wallabies

Please help me caption this:

Ideas:

"A comparative study of the relative benefits of properly maintained
hotmix (this is why ANU are broke?) vs dodgily maintained local
council roads"

"How to approach a cattle grid with 3 warning signs to slow down.
Hint: you don't, but you need to retrieve your bidon when you come
back up."

"40km/h speed limit? Pffft, that's not legally binding".

Excuse the bike handling -- I had been riding the old GVBR clunker for
3 weeks.

I shall try it again helmet mounted rather than handlebar mounted,
with a more sturdy attachment. And then try again with handlebar
mounting with more vibration isolation (somehow). This could be fun.

You should be bunny-hopping those cattle grids. Possibly the wallaby as
well, but that might take a little practice.

the related list is completely not, your tags need work?

way too distant for a suicide wallabie.

Heh. I wonder howto... It's probably an AND search, and I dare say
there aren't too many downhill cycling runs from an observatory, so it
comes back with the empty list, so it shows a bunch of random videos
instead and calls them related?

And the fact that he was too visible and I had the chance to see him
and slow down well before.

OR. Its's matching on AAT. So its not using the tags?

I had AAT until the non match was pointed out. Obviously still using
them...

The stereotypical Islay is like chewing on a well-preserved rowing
boat, spiced up with seaweed, whereas the 20yo Laddie is more like
relishing a gourmet meal in said rowing boat. -- Ingvar in ASR

Ok so it took you a bit over 6 mins to get down. How long did the return run
take?

Same question here. You must get some wierd looks from your non-cycling
workmates!

My suggested caption:

"A bike ride down from Siding Spring is the perfect analogy to
radioastronomy... lots of noise with the ocassional wallaby"

How about something like extreme commute,or extreme cycle commute.
That's going to be a lot more relevant than what you currently get.

That is professionally priveleged information

In the past, it took me 15 minutes to get from the bottom to the door
of the dome (and then I guess another 2 or 3 to the top of the
mountain, but I never had a need to go that far). Let's just say it
was about 7 minutes slower than that.

I have a cold (well, and generally unfit, dammit; I wish there was a
BR(x) up here)
