I do a lot of following. Up hills, along flats, down hills.
My journey to the lonely peaks of Mt Bowen will be the following day. I'm afraid this time I must leave "the Man" and his followers to forge the trail without me.

Not sure if that's much of a recommendationYou definitely should... Especially if you enjoyed the Gillard/KRudd saga!
I watch it for the naked hot chicks.Not sure if that's much of a recommendation
For those who read the books for the interesting anti-heros, I highly recommend Joe Abercrombie and the first law trilogy. Glokta the crippled torturer is very bit as good a character as the imp.

If we're not careful this will turn into a book club.

I love reading but it eats into my riding time.
Audio books, but only one ear bud, gotta listen for cars.

And I made it to the PO to pick up my Wiggle orders
Except I got there at 11:01 and the sign said "CLOSED".
Which was annoying as I had quickly got changed into none cycling clothes and then had to RUN up the hill and down the other side. Not nice when a) you haven't been running since December and b) you just cycled a long way to ride up a very steep hill.
So I stalked the last person inside the PO and begged the dude to let me pick up my parcels when he let her out. Which he very kindly did.
Thanks chaps for the ride! and thanks Anthony for the tow back to the bunch when I got dropped temporarily.
