After all the talk and all the noise, I am catching the train down but I'll be bringing the bike so at least that is some small consolation to the ego I'll try the Canberra ride again sometime in the future when I can muster up some courage to even think of it. Avagoodone all Have you considered taking the train to Tarago and riding to the Unaugural[1]? You might win a trophy... I remember that Unaugural thingy mentioned in this newsgroup. Hm, it's a tort, eh? Is the trophy redeemable for a carton of cold beer though Are you accusing me of being a tortfeasor[1]?! You might have your work cut out to win "longest distance bicycle" though, Aeek is planning to attend again this year and last time he rode from his home in Canberra (about 110km) BTH http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tort -- Posted at www.usenet.com.au |

Wait don't answer that, I give up already You might have your work cut out to win "longest distance bicycle" though, Aeek is planning to attend again this year and last time he rode from his home in Canberra (about 110km) Mate, I am not planning to win anything. My main problem is gonna be somehow having a carton of cold beer at the end of it and hauling a carton with me is gonna be a REAL challenge especially if I am gonna try and keep it cold as well! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tort ARRRGGGHHHH!!! No!! No!! I refuse to read that stuff |

Let me assure you that keeping your beer *cold* in a Tarago paddock on a May night will be pretty easily accomplished. :-) BTH -- Posted at www.usenet.com.au |

So that leaves the problem of hauling a carton to Tarago. 1. It's not a huge distance from the pub. 2. You might find that if you ask nicely, one of the car drivers might help out. 3. perhaps consider a more compact form of anesthetic. Something more readily transported by bicycle. A nice red perhaps? Scotch? Gin? Don't think of it as a restriction. Think of it as an opportunity for a new experience. Moike |

This is the excuse you have been needing to buy a trailer. So on your trip to Tarago, you go via Canberra and Flying Furniture where you get a http://www.flyingfurniture.com.au/sh...er-convenience which will manage your beer and all your camping gear. And will really disturb people once you manage to do your 30kmh down airport drive with it behind.... Zebee |
