yokel sees the bright lights!
Hi all, I am heading to melbourne on 26 june for a couple of weeks t
uphold the belief that i need to see my family every so often. Comin from Perth where we have only had traffic lights for 10 years, i though maybe the melbournites on the forum could direct me towards some good fast training rides during the week and on the weekends, as of course my bike will be coming along for the ride. I am going to give th infamous hells ride a go but as i will be on holidays i want to go ou on a ride every morning so any info would be greatly appreciated. O course i will have to also catch on the exploits of a certain afl tea that i rabidly support that will remain nameless until such time as have some info......only joke go the dons - |

Die Essendon bottom-breathing pond scum, die! Let me guess... Pie fan? Blues? Hawks? Surely only the fan of a sliding club can be that vehement... (as I was after round three, of course) Go Dons! |

Coming from Perth where we have only had traffic lights for 10 years, I'm sure there were traffic lights when I moved there in 1961. You don't remember 1961 do you? Theo |
