US to invade Van Diemans Land

Led by General Carney at the head of his brand new Northwestern Mortage
Cycling Trackies development squad, four troopers are heading Antipodean Ways
for three - four months of war games and to test their battle-readiness
against the locals on the Tassie Tracks.

I wonder if they will understand the wheelrace never mind "the devil
takes the hindmost"

Also known as the "miss-and-out" ...

I don't think they'll have any problems getting that one.



WHo was it had all the aggro about the wheel race last year?
Something about local favourites getting too good a handicap?
Looks like they didn't understand the purpose last year :-)

Thanks for the report Davey (or rather, the teaser in order to lure us
to your website); note that it is Van Diemen's Land, not Van Diemans
Land. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_van_Diemen

Apparently track cyclists of Irish descent have to work for free

I pondered awhile about that and eventually went both ways in my newsfeed
article to try to keep everyone happy. But quoting from The Tasmanian
Distillery history site :

[quote]
The Tasmanian Distillery proudly continues a long tradition of Tasmanian whisky
making that dates back to 1822.
What is now called Tasmania was once a British penal colony called Van Diemans land.
Established in 1803, Van Diemans Land was designed to be a convict settlement
from which escape would be improbable as it is an isolated island at the
southern end of the earth.
The fierce and unforgiving Southern Ocean fortresses this colony.
Many a person of Celtic origin was transported to Van Diemans land as
punishment for their misdemeanors
[ENDQUOTE]

Not that it really matters.
