The Latest Craze.

So my new "thing" at the moment is devouring the JJJ website downloads archive, namely all the old "J Files" they have available. I must admit anytime I hear any Australian music here on the radio I feel a real sense of patriotism, not matter how lame or cliche the song is. Mostly it's a rotation of INXS, Midnight Oil or Men At Work, but every time I have to crank them up loud. So already tonight I have listened to the Joe Strummer J File (while cooking a pretty good lasagna) and now I'm on to Spilt Enz. Which reminded me of this which is pretty rocking.

After a rest week last week i have started training again this week with a bang. The weather has been great, with plenty of wind about for a good dose of HTFU. Met up with Ryan Parnes last weekend at Wheels Of Thunder crit, made the trek out to CO from CA and will be my team-mate on the NVGP Pro-Ride. Took him up Brook Forest Rd. today and was a nice introduction to a little 8000ft climbing. Then we started our intervals. Solid.

On an end note I am now writing for the official NVGP race blog....check it..

How fitting after stage 9 of the Giro. a bit of Split Enz 'I see red' Which is what I'm sure Zomegnan had going thru his head when Armstrong called to neutralise the stage.

Or alternatively, a suitable song for the US racing scene at the moment considering the amount of teams riding SRAM. 'I see red, I see red I see RED!'

Hahaha good reading as always Windy, keep up the good work champ.
