Hey Neil,
My Xmas pressie arrived from ICE (via Flying Furniture in Canberra) last night.......
I just got a black Vortex FS, planning on a 120km Charity ride on 2nd January with it, woo hoo.......
Had a quick buzz around the block and it's so much nicer than my 2006 Greenspeed GT5, so much smoother and drop dead gorgeous to look at, even my long suffering partner said, "That looks rather cool !!" - I do feel sorry for my trusty GT5 which got me through my back surgery rehab earlier this year and re-awoke me to cycling (recumbent style) !!
The forecast over the next week days is
in Australia......
Have a good Christmas !!

Hey Neil,
We've had a good run of sunshine and got out every other day...... Did a nice 60km ride this morning along the coast..... With brown snake basking on the bitumen.....
Had a few more bits rattle themselves loose.... Victorian roads are so rough, basically even the nylocs need loctite on them !
Hopefully taking the Musashi fora squirt tomorrow if it does not rain, I think that secretly my red Cat is jealous of the Vortex !

I love the Red Cat......
Unfortunately rain stopped play on Sunday morning
So the Red Cat did not get an outing.....
Cycled to work this morning, 35km (each way) - had a really nice 27 kph average then I hit Geelong with it's very poorly synchronised traffic lights and my average dropped to 23 kph..... Must find a way which gets me on the 'major' roads inside of the branch/side roads........
Going home is a different route which involves a dis-used railway trail and a nice big hill by an old cement factory and then along the river for a few kays until I get back on the roads.......
