I just insured my Honda Jazz online with these guys (an online insurance company). Suoer cheap, great web site/user interface (simple, just how I love it). Awesome :)

Getting whiter (take that Michael Jackson). Funn bars for Suga’s Talon.

The ride on Saturday was great, but all that effort, fitness wise, was wasted as Suga and I just proceeded to non-stop eat all weekend.

We caught up with Zi and Gloria, Charles and Anna at PRIME at Sydney’s GPO. I’ve eaten there a couple of times, and always went for the $155 wagyu (which is amazing), this time I went for the lesser grade $85 cut and fuck it was shit. Full of chunky fat bits, made me feel sick. It feels crap to pay out of your ass for shit service and a bad meal. Zi was super pissed. I’m sure he didn’t sleep well that night lol. I’ll not eat wagyu again this year.

Some bottles were $2000+.

Love the fancy ducanter. This $70 bottle was super nice.

On Sunday we had a relos lunch at Suga’s place. That was always going to be decadednt. Wagyu was served too (lol), the smell of it alone made me feel sick.

Salmon + soy + nose bleeding wasabi FTW.

Love them or hate them. I love them.

Mornay! I’m not meant to eat cheese (I’m a soy boy), but I couldn’t resist.

We caught Kungfu Panda, it’s always refreshing to see animation on the big screen. Fun movie but the ending was a little too rushed.

More food at Nino’s, Bondi Westfields. Fun night, the pasta was insane. I’m a huge pasta fan, and haven’t had pasta as fresh as this in years (go the angel hair with balmain bugs). Dinner with my family’s always hilarious. When my mother gets together with her two younger sisters it always ends up in dirty jokes and much belly laughter. Nicholas, my cousin who finished high school last year, was on a high from going to his first ever trance club (in Melbourne). Seeing him attempt the Melbourne Shuffle outside the restaurant in the mall was hillarious. Of-course I told him to not go there, ’cause the Melbourne shuffle is gay.

Suga and I spent the day riding Lady Carrington Drive today out at the Royal National Park. Lovely little trail, very smooth and picturesque. Pics here.

09 Saint – I have my eyes on the groupset for the Reign.

Speaking of the Reign, the frame is still away being painted. Can’t wait to get it back and go for a ride. Out of all the bikes I’ve ever owned, it’s the only one that encourages me to push myself every single time I ride it.

Today I got myself a tow bar and bike rack. Larke Hoskins Honda in Roseberry tried to charge me $660 for a tow bar fitted (WTF!). I called around and in the end a mate of a mate suggested Matador in Castel Hill who did the job for $275. They went as far as installing a plug too for lights on trailers, nice touch even though I won’t be getting a trailer.

I was so impressed with Brad’s Thule rack from last weekend that I dropped into Auto1 in Kensington on the way home and picked up a Thule bike rack for $189. So that’s $464 all up, tow bar + Thule rack, shove that up your ass Honda.

Richie and Brad and his sexy little Mazda 2.

Sunday, no traffic? Must be dreaming.

Registering was a breeze.

MWG the machine.

Jing’s Reign got me home.

Today I participated in the Woodford to Glenbrook Classic. I did it in 1:20:40 and our team the pixel pushies came in 3rd! 25km of true pain. Well I made it to the finish line at least (lol). Whilst I had a rad day I’m super disappointed in my lack of endurance strength.

I didn’t have any of my bikes ready, so Jing very kindly lent me his Giant Reign for the day. I set her up last night and was a bit excited, but did manage to get a fair few hours sleep in. I got up at 5.30AM, had a bite and headed off to pick up Richie (my sisters husband). We got to Brad’s place at 7AM, chucked the bikes on his cool Thule roofrack on the back of his sexy orange Mazda 2 and we were off.

Sunday, no traffic. Amazing! We got to the mountains damn quick (1 hour flat) and registered. Perfect weather, we were excited. The catch up with Brad was awesome. I hadn’t seen the guy in forever, we met up with Matt (MWG) at the start line, Jing sent me an SMS to say he just got up, that really pissed me off, but the gun went off and away we went. Richie and I dropped back whilst everyone fought for position. I passed Matt as he was on the side of the road fixing a flat (lol). I caned a few rough downhill sections overtaking quite a few people only to have most of them overtake me back on the uphills. Richie passed me at some stage too and by the time I finally got to the crazy 10km downhill at the end I was exhausted (dead pretty much) which was a real shame as I imagined making up many positions down there.

In the end of the day the only people I overtook were the ones with flats on the side of the road. A guy with his baby son attached to the back of his bike overtaking me hurt a lot… then I was overtaken by a 13yr old girl who was making a lot of noise and complaining to me about a stitch whilst she overtook me. My ego/legs were gone at that stage and I just was happy to get to the finish line.

The massive grass hill and corner into the finish gate was awesome, the crowd cheering, the vibe. All smiles. Matt did a n utter time, Brad kicked it. Turns out Richie stopped for a piss break at some stage and I did beat him to the finish, Felix rocked up and we chilled for a bit before doing the most hardcore nasty road climb back out of the valley up to the station to get to our car back at Woodford. PAIN, Maccas on the way home (shhh), Sydney traffic, wash broken bike (shifter broke in trasnport, bum poo fuck), glass of wine, blog.

A few complications/problems. It won’t get there for the race this weekend… but it’ll get there eventually.

Fucking shit I bought a Jazz AGAIN. The S2000 is sold. If that doesn’t prove my dedication to bicycles… (lol) I don’t know what will!
