not much going on.

Not much going on at the moment here on the sunshine coast... the best thing is probably the weather at the moment which is pretty awesome. 17/18degrees at the moment in the day, not bad seeing as we had snow this time last year.

I've just about finished getting the winter bike ready for the off next week. New cables and bar tape to go on tomorrow and it will be complete. Good stuff.

So this is my 3rd week off the bike now and i'm pretty eager to get back out there. I've had 2 weeks of pretty much complete rest and this week i have started a bit of running and also riding the mtb to work and back!! Talking of work, i've been working at the local bike shop dozn here (triathlon shop really... www.thetristore.com) and god does it hurt my legs standing up all day! You would think that with the amount of hours i put in on the bike that they would at least do me the favour of holding out for a 9hr working day here and there... but no they have to feel like they are going to collapse from underneath me even before the lunch break. What a pansy!

Tommorow i've got a day off work and the weather is meant to be good again before turning a bit grim for the weekend so i might venture out on the MTB over the downs and get a ride in that way. I start on the road again officially from the 8th November but i'll be getting a few hours in next week just to get the bike set up perfect and get the legs ticking over... basically i cant wait that long!

I'm quickly going to shout out a mates blogspot for you to check out- his name is Kris and he's heading out early next year around the world...with just his bike for company! We can all follow his progress on here - www.riding-east.blogspot.com/ check it out.

Another thing to check out is www.bartape.net. If you don't already know of the site, it's got a load of videos from the Cervelo Test Team from here there and everywhere this season. If you got a bit of spare time on your hands check a few of them out.

Things are coming together for next year now. Laurent, Gwenael and myself are on the hunt for a house for next year near Brest. Oh and while talking of accomodation, my landlord from Quimper this year has decided he's going to try and shaft me for a big wad of money by claiming that there is loads of work to be done after i left the flat a few weeks ago. Let battle commence!
