Hehe no not quite lost in the wilds of Tassie, i just returned from a 3 week trip up to Cape York with some mates from Sydney. Uni is a tough life for some of us

I'm pretty sure that Dave has secured a new house for us down at Tassie so it might be a while until either of us are back on, (internet needs to be installed) :madman:

We'll be back on shortly as I think he's waiting for me to get back before we choose a new internet plan.

By the way Cape Yorl rocks. I'll put some photos up soon but some ^*@^&head at the backpackers stole my portable hard drive so i'll have to get the photos mailed to me.

Yeah woulda loved to go for a ride but i've already missed a week of uni and my flight from Cairns to Launceston was pretty much direct.

As for the weather, i'm freezing my arse off now, but I do look browner than the rest of the population...

I know I'm good looking, but surely you can put up with me not being around for a bit more then a couple of weeks!!

I wouldn't have minded getting lost in the wilderness for a few days, but unfortunately I spent most of my short holidays buggering around getting this house that Ben mentioned organised.

The good news is that many new trails have been discovered / found. So expect some sweet ride reports sometime soon.

While the internet is a new concept down here, we now have a solid power supply, and clean drinking water for the local brewery.

I did lurk here a couple of times on dialup, but didn't have the time to post… :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I got zero riding in, but I did find time to wash and polish one of my girls ready for a nice mud bath last Wednesday. Word of advice, don't turn up to a group ride on a single speed and tell them that you wouldn't mind an easy ride because you haven't been on the bike for a while. They'll proceed to take you up every hill that they can find until you're buggered, and then force you to blast around the local trails for another 30k. Not that I was complaining…

Cheers, Dave.
