indres orienteering club breakup tonight out in the countryside, arrived pretty late and it seemed everyone was waiting for us to start their annual(weekly?/monthly? im not sure) club beer/vodka-o...there was a lot of lithuanian being spoken and i couldnt really worked out what was going on but before i knew it i had been tied to some poor girl, had a beer and shot of vodka poured down my throat and had been sent out into the forest with a map to do a three-legged night-o while being half cut... pretty good fun.. nearly got a kidney stone by the end though, couldnt work out how to say "can we please stop for a bit, im busting for a piss, ay" in lithuanian, to the girl i was tied to.

transit

first game in c grade. got smashed by a bunch of 15 yr olds.

Outcomes from Saturday Night at the alpine hotel in bright:
1. more than one female in bright thinks muzza is an arsehole.
2. Owe will be racing the next actual tour of bright as "Prediction-Blotto Cycling."
3. White russians and beer dont mix well.

final ride. another pretty late start so we had to go from the national parks office down the bottom. parto had already headed home so we were just three for the buffalo classic. took the first 10kms pretty easy as we concentrated more on our sledging than our riding. but about halfway the pace was on. we stuck together until the last 500m or so. i mistimed my attack and went prematurely, when i tired, the ryan "secret training" smyth train came roaring past. i didnt see the finish but from the reports it sounds like the sprint king scown took the buffalo crown.
smythies new layer of full time work blubber helped him to get down the hill ahead of us too, but that was no suprise ;)

finally the weather cleared up a bit so we got to do hotham. had to shorten the ride in though as parto had to head home prematurely.
after cruising the first few kms, the pace was pretty much on. we all stuck together until the really steep bit in the last where the extent of muzzas epo use became evident. he dropped into grandma gear and left us for dead. last 2 or 3 kms were a real battle. vanilla slice up the top was good though
