So it's getting cold here

but Josh, Karl and I have been getting out for some early morning road rides which have been bearable so far. It was Karl's idea to start doing this in winter rather than summer, the guy's just a little touched I think... but to keep him happy we've been out there trundling round the bays. It's pretty nice as the sun comes up as we hit the coast. And if I feel like it's too cold to ride, I'll just have to watch this... the epic Gavia stage in the 88 Giro, the stuff of legend as riders nearly froze to death, and Andy Hampsten became the man. It's time for the Giro again, no TV coverage of course (not even the Italian RAI channel which I'd subscribe to for a month back in Aus) which sucks coz it looks like it could be a great race. Astana will be out to prove a point after their exclusion from the Tour, and I reckon Contador might be the man to beat (even if he's not in the best nick, he'll be pretty driven by revenge). Di Luca is another who will be out to redeem himself, it's like a race for the drug-tainted teams and riders really. So there it is, Contador for mine...

Are you still planning on summering in Arizona? That will get out of the cold.

I'll get some pics tomorrow for you!

Can't afford to do Arizona, plus the hassle to get clearance for a job was incredible.
