Velominatus: harminator
Order: Gray Order Velominatus
"We used to live in a rolled up newspaper in a septic tank." Found the bike relatively late in life after a mis-spent youth. Now cured, living northern Sydney, soaking up the serenity and agony of the local gorges... Married, 2 kids, school teacher (design & tech) renovating the house and running the school MTB program.

@mouse Yep. A good showing for one day. Lets see if he can put a few together including a TT. And not insignificant that he lost very little on the long, slightly technical descent. »
Sensational stage. @all should catch the last 20k if you can. I even found myself giving Andy a hearty “C’mon!” Rat pack buries himself! And the banner collapse on the frantic descent? Crazy stuff! »

@blackpooltower Classic. Perhaps too clever to be an accident..? And Drummond? I always wondered what Where’s Wally did for a day job. »

What a nice little veggo love-in this is! I’m a meat eater with no real knowledge of where my food comes from or what experience the animals have had before I chew…that makes me common in my culture but an uncommon Velominatus it seems. Yesterday at t… »

@sthilzy Mate. We both know he’s a class act. TdF 2016. You saw it here first. Forget the thanks, just send beer. This week? Well… the big mountain stage and the ITT are a day apart… Is Ryder going to pull for Rat Pack? I’d have thought the reverse… »

@Mikael Liddy Similar to my LbS enquiry in Sydney – July 7th. I wanted to ask how much it weighs and does it come in carbon but restrained myself. »
@frank I assume the production team have been instructed not to call him Little Tommy. I guess that means Russell Crowe will have to settle for the part of Brett. And Gianni? »
Astounding stuff, Keepers. I really don’t know how you fit everything in around your real jobs. I guess the next step is the screenplay… Will Andy play Frånk? »

@strathlubnaig As an impressionable teenager I devoured stacks of mountaineering literature in the 80′s. Haston and Scott, Boardman and Tasker blew my adventuring mind. Haston on the Hillary step is one of the enduring images of the time… But Scott’… »

@ChrisO Me also. Two guys I ride with have had RD issues on long rides/races and had to finish with 60k slogs with 2 gears. Cadel’s comment after Wiggo’s trouble in Trentine was that some of the innovations / adaptions have yet to be fully tested. I won… »
@Deakus Yep. Dura-ace Di2 9070. I think Uran runs that too. Some speculation that snow/ice build up jammed the RD shift in the last 3k. That was a remarkable stage. Shame Nibbles won the TT. It would have been so much cooler (more believable?) for him … »

I was just contemplating this on my Tuesday night ride this week. Everything prior to roll out is extra effort – lights, kit, raising the energy to simply start. But the rewards are magnified too. As we strung out on a long desent, swapping off and spinni… »

@strathlubnaig Love it. Just waiting for the “my rivals must have hacked my wireless shifting” excuse from someone now. »

This just in. A man in a brown jumper stole a power bar and electrolyte drink from the feed station during today’s Critical Mass event. Witnesses say he attempted a cunning disguise by pulling his trousers up to the knee and pointing his knees outwards. … »

@PeakInTwoYears Thanks. When Rossi is moved to say Fuck its the end of the affair. »
@Chris That explains it. Otherwise…She looks mighty peeved at the quality of the sprint train the team provided.. »
@Chris One of these riders has been raised by a Velominatus… A perfect example of the importance of learning from the right people. »
