cycling and all that.


Hi there! With Judy's new blue bike the topic of interest, I thought I should remind you of the once in a lifetime opportunity to see representatives of 50 nations (are there so many?) fighting it out - or shld I say cycling it out? - around the streets, roads and cycle tracks of Geelong. The great event - the 2010 UCI Road World Cycle Championship - takes place between Sep 29 and Oct 3. Great excitement in Geelong - come to Geelong! (I'm not getting paid for this either!).


But life continues on a quieter plane here at Abervale. The reefurbishment continues apace and we now have limited access to our community centre. Most of the obtrusive trucks and other work-related machines have gone and our roadways are once more less hazardous.

  1. Good to hear things are getting back to normal, Pa. Watching people ride bikes isn't nearly as fun as riding bikes! Love Rachael.

  2. I'd love to watch the event but I suspect they would rush by at such a pace that it would be all over in a few seconds! In the Tour time trials riding into Paris on their own the winner averaged 52 kmh. I managed that speed down a hill one time and was terrified.
    Glad to hear that you have access to some parts of the new complex at last.
    Love
    Phil
