So true


Yesterday morning on Grote Street, I saw no less than 15 cyclists suddenly decide to take up all 3 lanes heading eastbound out the front of Beaumonts, causing cars to slam on breaks, they all had the same riding tops on so I'm assuming they must've been AIS or some visiting cycling team.

If they'd done that in front of me, i think my breaks would've suddenly failed.

You would have risked killing people to save 1 minute of travel time?

They were literally weaving all over the place . Lets just say there was a lot of horn honking.

Why endanger themselves and other road users if they need to get onto the other side of the road, why can't they sit on the side of the road and then cross safely when there's a break in the traffic? Maybe to save 1 minute of travel time? ;)

I've seen Fistys Carolla scream through a Costco carpark. I can't imagine the brake lights even flickered this morning.

Nope, I'm saying it's a minute lost for either party, that's all. I'm no big wrap for pedopolists circulating 3,4 or 5 abreast, but life's too short, I wait for 30 seconds, go around them, move on with my life.

Did they cause a car accident? No...let's all take a breath* and move on. There, doesn't that feel better? :lol:

Going away on a fishing trip next week. Can't beat sitting in the tinny on the Murray with a couple of mates and some beers.

Bring on the Murray Cod!

Haha that's it!

Sadly I do all my Murray Cod fishing interstate these days. Between us we'd easily spend $1000 within the local area, such a shame we can't do that this side of the border.

My 12 year old daughter making her A Grade district cricket debut this week. It will be a great experience for her.

She's been opening the bowling in the B's but I think she's keeping this week for the A's.

She's pretty handy with the gloves but has been bowling pretty tidily so they've preferred her to bowl, she's pretty agile in the field and is probably the only one in the B's that can ditch it in on the full from the boundary.
The A Grade keeper is out this week and she's been on the cusp of going up, just not for the role we initially though she'd be in there for.

Either way, it's going to be an exciting day for us just for the experience alone, I just hope they bowl in her zone if she gets a hit.

Just receiving an invite from the SA Sharks gridiron team (state side) coach to join them for training camp for the state comp next year!

To say I'm excited is an under-f**kin-statement!
