Cycling Progress - 12:38
Now that Neil has successfully talked me into competing at the Australian Masters Track and Road Titles I have decided to log my cycling kilometres and also running, although a run very little.
I'm not so keen on the term Bragging Rights, but you can turn that on and off if you use Progress Log to log your cycling, running and swimming distances.
I could use a little help, as I ride a bike without a computer most of the time, so my distances may be off. So, if you see I'm claiming too much then call me on it. Assume most rides start here in Curtin, hell I'm not even sure about the distance of the traditional Cotter-Uriarra loop even though it's pretty much my backyard.

A little update a little late - 14:36
I've been busy lately lots of travel, but the last couple of weekends we spent all our time in Canberra. Apart from the fact that Rachel organised us to be at 4 parties/bbq's over the weekend. The schedule was tight and Rachel did not make it home Saturday night. She decided to stay over at Kirsten's and I picked her up after my race to head to a wet BBQ at Meegan's house.
Anyhow, big news is that Neil and I are going to ride the Australian Masters Track Championships in late March and then a few days later we will ride the Criterium and Road Race in the Australian Masters Road Championships The consequence is, I have to get fit. We decided to give the NSW Track Championships a miss as Neil is going to a wedding. In any case I was thinking about how difficult speed preparation was going to be for the sprint, 200m TT, 500m TT, 3000m pursuit and 10km scratch race was going to be versus to the endurance aspect of a 50 minute Criterium and 90km road race only a week or so later. So, the problem has been solved by only doing the 10km on the track at Northcote, then heading to Lancefield for the crit and a 90km RR.
Rachel also got a new computer so she can do Indesign here and give a more template driven basis to her designers for Lipmag. I have inherited her old laptop, which used to be my old laptop. The tft display is busted, quite a hassle as I was busy building up her new desktop with my keyboard, mouse and monitor. Mikey is going to help me convert my crappy old desktop to a nice Linux pc shortly, I can't decide exactly what to use, but Mikey is recommending Mandrake 10.1 or Fedora Core or SuSe or Debian Sarge. We shall play with it over the weekend.
Other than that the Gunning Two Day tour is coming up and the hilly and demanding CCC Tour is on one week later. I'm a candidate for another job at the ANU in the digital preservation area, working on a project to do with a digital repository, if I am successful.
