Dark Horse's new bicycle ...

... not quite what we were expecting, but very tasty! Just what the doctor ordered after quick spins around Centennial Park. We fairly set it ablaze, covering just over 22km in what must have been a terrific time ... if only I'd been timing it. Anyway, very balmy weather, compared to the mountains; and we managed a couple of climbs for good measure.

In a very small way, it was our salute to the Tour de France 2010. (I did say small.) Although, we managed to swerve the cobble-stones, injuries, Pyrenees, tyre throwing, head-butting and overwhelming fatigue. Well, maybe not the fatigue.

Huge effort from Lightning Horse, having spent the past 3 weeks soaking up a veritable gastronomic degustation of Southern European savouries and then fighting off a lurgy on return to our wintry shores.

We were joined by 'Horse with no name', seen here murdering ginger bicycles by the thousand.

 

I, for one, was startled--and hungry! 

A handicap system may find its way into team management, as 'Horse with no name' is practically a professional cyclist, managing a daily Bondi--City commute. (Hyperbole? Moi?)

Haematite Horse was travelling well. The indoor trainer is clearly paying big dividends. Looks like Haematite and 'Horse with no name' didn't pick up on the Caisse d'Epargne reference in recent transmissions. Looks like red may feature heavily in team colours once contracts are finalised with a spectacular array of team sponsors. (What, more hyperbole? ... perhaps.)

Thanks to Dark Horse's better half for this pic!

Just on that topic - team colours - here's a site that, were we not sane fellows, might prompt the purchase of a batch of team-coloured bicycles: MojoBike.

And, finally, ever get that feeling you're being followed?

Until next time, Pedal On!

Thunder Horse.
