Brad commented on his own time: "was blown away half way up by another rider! this was after my first run up so happy to beat first time, particularly after a hairraising first time down corkscrew. Heavy on brakes most of way - particularly around the tight turns. Brilliant day for a ride hardly a breeze and a nice 18 degree C. Went home back via Montacute Rd"

No sunscreen, and yet the Cancer Council have a spot on the Jersey.....although I did see that they had a promo stand on the oval at the end of the race. Fortunately I took my own sunscreen, as waiting to the end of the race to put some on ain't that smart..... I don't think there is any doubt the ride is over priced and we are paying for the fact we can say we rode the same course the pro's did later that day. Has the price increased all that significantly since Lance has been coming? If the revenue was about $1m, what do we think the outgoings were. Surely that Jersey couldn't have cost too much as a mass production? The lunch at the end would have to be around $10per head. All in all you'd have to think more than half the cost was all profit? The Kinglake ride in Vic for example is much better value - a Nalini Jersey - probably worth most if not all of the $130 you pay to go in the event. The Grand Slam series here I was pretty impressed with the stops for food/drink and the lunches supplied after the rides. Good looking jersey to go with this years event too.

Unfortunately I'm off for a work conference then but a week or two after I'm heading to the Otway Classic on the Great Ocean Road - anyone doing that? Robert, you are a machine - nice work!

[quote=The Cheez] mmmmmmm similar symptoms being felt here! - shoulders -> severe pain - triceps -> agony - lower back -> seizing up boarding on excruciating and severely sunburnt due to an apparent gap between the bottom of the jersey and the top of my bike shorts - left leg -> quad would cramp when I straightened it and the hammy would cramp when I closed it (agonizing) - hands -> both palms completely blistered - hind quarters -> felt like I had become one with the bike (not in a good way) - front quarters -> fortunately numbed the pain out - balls of feet -> each pedal made them want to commit suicide After I gave up at the 151.5km mark I couldn't eat or drink for approximately 3 hours for fear of quickly and violently revisiting whatever I had just swallowed, vowed never to get back on the bike again (I do that after every ride) but right now I am actually looking forward to the next ride. Still can't walk properly today - my left leg feels like it's been punched 10,000 times just above the knee on the left side. But bloody loved the ride. To all my fellow friends who were left shattered and exposed on the side of the road with their bike flung carelessly as they desperately tried to find a nice piece of gravel to die in, BUCK UP there is always next year![/quote]

Hi All, Hiw are you feeling after yesterday's MCTDUC? For those that rode the 150km Stage 4 of the 2009 Gran Slam Series, you'll remember the last few km's from Strathalbyn to Echunga. Well, I gotta say that Milang to Goolwa was much more difficult. The road after Langhorne Creek into Milang and on to Goolwa was the toughest conditions I (in my limited experience) have ridden in. I am hurting tonight. I mowed the lawns today to try and get some movement in the legs. I've not been on a ride where I've seen so many people break down both with their bikes and unfortunately themselves. Couldn't believe the news last night with around 200 people treated or taken in ambulance during the ride. Credit to all those that gave it a go and got involved. Great to meet a few people along the way. Rode with a few from interstate during the ride and as a South Aussie it was great to hear glowing comments from those around the country about the whole TDU experience. Keen to hear what everyone else has to say about the ride. Cheers F

Hi All, I'm sure many of us are subscribed with Team Radioshack to catch the latest updates in team developments. Just wondering what your initial thoughts are on the protype jersey? I'm thinking Team Euskaltel will be pleased there is another challenger for worst jersey on the circuit??? Whilst it is a prototype, the website suggest pretty much going to be as we see it... Not sure about this one...
