Order: Gray Order Velominatus
Location: Down Under - Melbourne
Riding since 1984 - first major ride was the '84 Great Victorian Bike Ride, 13 years old. Started racing in 1985 with Carnegie Caulfield Cycling Club until end of 1999. A couple of years off here and there - car racing, pubs. Tried MTB racing on & off. Briding, Breeding & Blippin since 2000, with the occasional summer rides. Still enjoy the bike and am riding more and feeling better for it. May even pin a number on the back in 2012~ Done it! Had a couple of crits in February!

Question – why do Pro’s use electronic gearing? The bikes get serviced after every stage/race, so everything is incheck for the next day. Also if involved in crash the wire could be torn or battery knocked off terminals. Why are we seeing more bike chucks… »

@DocBrian Actually yes! When coming out of hibernation use electric clippers followed by a Gillette Mach 3 blade. Use foam followed by Nivea, or Palmers cocoa butter »

@sthilzy “All three riders were lucky enough to walk away.” If the Badger was there, only two riders would be walking away! The one with the motor would be at the end of The Badger’s knuckle sandwich! »
