Accessories

As h mentioned to me before.. boys like their toys.. or accessories.. lol..
i know i previously said i should be content with what i have etc etc, but in my defense/justification these were only sale + i did kinda need them haha.. again thats what i keep tell myself.


Picked up some 661 Raji gloves...they feel really comfortable. Although there isnt much padding the movement is pretty much like wearing nothing at all.. nothing at all *ned flanders*Red goes faster Picked up a new helmet too. because of the more aggressive riding position, my visor on my previous helmet didnt do any favours for my neck whilst in the drops. im hoping that this eases up on the neck strain, coz after a ride, things do get a little sore

Its a limar 909 carbon road helmet. + it has a "crash replacement program" lets hope i dont have to use it :S

I thought hmm why dont i get something a little funky for the mtb days. Mullet style helmet!

Its a one size fits all, so hopefully this bad boy doesnt move around too much

i dont have that many toys.

The Cup...

Today was the day for the melbourne cup. As tradition says we do the all important office sweeps. I entered into our team sweeps + K and myself into the HUGE $2 sweeps.

Needless to say.. my horse "Munsef" peaked too early.. and finished somewhere...not really even sure where.. haha.

Surprisingly K's horse "Mourilyan" came 3rd.. props props

Congrats to S who won big on the sweeps + got placing @ the TAB :)

Zumbo's Part II

On Sat it was P's Bday. So to surprise her, a couple of us went to Adriano Zumbos and waited... 2:15 came around and SURPRISE!!! and she really was :)

K & H took the initiative and ordered for us in advance.. well done guys!

P & M pose for the cameras Snap Shot of P munching.. nom nom mmmm.. nom...There was a few of us, so H & J did the honours of slicing and dicing... The different roons ... one eachYoink! shotgun green tea (i think????)So we all were stuffed from the sugar hit + had food babiesThen things started to revert back to primary/high school. First there was an "accidental" food spillage on J's cheek.. then all hell broke loose...

K going in for the killGOT CHA!the realisation that its all fun and games until someone looses an eye.. lol..Its all good.. share the love... i think P was shocked/laughing/crying?!?!?There were no survivors.... I think everyone enjoyed it...

The wannabe B&W classic look....

SYTYCD

After H mentioned about this clip, i cant stop watching it... crazily awesome

Early sunday

J suggested that we should do an early morning ride today. So off we went from Artarmon to the city. Since i failed go for the syd - gong ride :(, i thought this should make up for it.. kinda haha..It ended up being a really nice ride. Weather was perfect nice, sunny and warm but not the kind of warm where you start sweating when you are just standing around.

across the bridge provided beautiful views + a nice cooling breeze

We sped around the rocks... and tackled the "tour de france" hill as J puts it .. lol..

Rested up round near circular quay. Surprisingly it was quite busy for around 8:30ish...
Great start to the day.. should do more often

Now.. bring on Zumbo :P

Grateful

At times i focus alot on what i dont have.."oh, i dont have this, wish i had that" etc etc...this world can be quite depressing. But on the bright side i really do have ALOT and am really appreciative of the friends, family and relationships around me.

I think esp. family. Im incredibly blessed to have mum and dad who love and give sooo much, i just hope one day i can be a person, evenly slightly like them. Even talking with J here and there, its awesome to have a bro like him. So heres to family and being content with what we have!!

...the battles continue

bells n whistles

Just went for a burn in the back streets. Bike felt a little heavy so i thought i'd remove some of the "un-necessities"

feels lighter already :)
maybe saved myself hmmmm 50grms or so?

btw why did they give me a bell for?!?!?
who uses a bell these days anyways. i feel like a little kid using it haha.. ding ding.
maybe its coz i got the smaller sized bike lol...

Reminds me of back in primary school ... "Isabel necessary on a bike?"
