Yep, in Qatar still (five weeks, now). This place is very nuts in a lot of ways and very easy in others. 35 degrees at the moment and it's one of the coolest days so far. Didn't get below 30 overnight for our first few weeks. Been running at 5.30am with my neighbour and the longest we've lasted has been 29minutes Think crazy humid Melbourne heatwave every day. Really not too sure about riding here - the drivers are insane and can easily kill you. They drive in the stopping lane (where you'd be on a bike) lots and really don't... I don't know... think much. It's like a whole country of the worst p-plate males you can imagine. But school's good and the people are awesome, so we're doing pretty well. Skiing in Austria over Christmas will be cheaper now that airfares aren't from Melbourne (booked flights this week ) |

I think even when Brett was riding he was still mostly a lurker. Only ever saw a handful of posts from him. DaveB |

The last time he was spotted he was in fingerless gloves... on a day it was so cold that we all got brain freeze on a downhill into Hurstbridge. Arhh the good ol days! -- gplama |

Guy I work with is going out with a group occasionally - he's struggling with the fact that your water is warm to the point of being hot after an hour or so. So refreshing!
