Rockford Crit, and time with the Mullet King!

Ok, I am not having too much luck here with Blogger, I have had a post ready for a while, and been waiting for internet so i could publish the post, and it deleted on me - you could possibly imagine my frustration?! I just love computers, and being so good with them!

Well last week we did the Priority Health Rockford Criterium, and we basically dominated, taking seven of the top ten, or something like that! It was good for us to race in front of our local supporters, so they could see us in the flesh, and get to watch us do well too.

Afterwards we had a ripper party at Bob's which was fun, and good to have all the team together - well, not all, but a good few of us. Bob always throws wicked good parties, and his house is perfect for entertaining guests.


The biggest attraction of the party was the big man with the newly adopted nickname of 'Mullet Missile', who has recently discovered the wonders of hair products! I had to snag the opportunity for a photo, seeing as i now have a mohawk that is on its way to joining his for height... well, not really...


The Tuesday after Rockford, we got in our home away form home, the team van - geez we've done some hours in that thing this year! We headed down to Greenville where the USPro is being held on the weekend. The cool thing in the photo is Benno being in the passenger seat for the first time we think. It was a long drive made longer by the pissing rain, and even longer because i had Keally picking me up at the other end to take me down to Athens for the week, I asked how far away we were about every twenty minutes! (sound familiar Mum and Dad?!)


The Fosters can i rode passed while training - Aussie beer must be the best, if they drink it on the other side of the world?! It is a weird photo i know, but hey, training can be made exciting every day if you want it to be!


The MAN himself, Bobbo (in black) giving a speech at the Rockford after party.


Just a few M&M's here - three pounds in the bowl, and a further three in the bag. The dollar bill is to show the size of the packet - not sure if it makes it any more significant or not?! Rich and i finished the bowl in a couple of days!

Well dudes, sorry this seems rushed... it is! I am over typing today, after losing the post already a couple of times, but i am planning on an update on Friday at some stage. It will be a good one providing i don't lose it before it gets published, and i will fill y'all in with a bit more detail!

Hope all is well back home.

Laters dudes...

Last year at school there was an M&M estimate game, where the winner took the whole jar. I won it and took home almost 1800 M&Ms. Booya.
