Where did the week go?

Group ride this morning with the Garland Group. 70k at around 30kph. Could definitely still feel a bit of Thursday's ride in the legs , but otherwise all good. 

Big Brend has got 150 big clickers in his schedule for tomorrow so that's Sunday morning pretty well taken care of. 

We cleaned our bikes last night and bikes are like cars, you can't clean them without it raining the next day and sure enough...I know, I know, why home on a Friday? - because im old and just physically aren't capable of a couple of bottles  of pop then a ride the next day.

My only comment today about music is that I haven't completely ruled out taking an instrument with me to provide live music while we are riding. At this stage im thinking a ukelele. Having thought it thru even that might be too substantial on the bike. I'm thinking of perhaps prototyping a special "traveling"mini ukelele for just such a purpose. I'll probably need to gauge demand before taking this particular brief to a specialist instrument manufacturer.

Lastly,two news items yesterday caught my eye. Firstly a zoo in china was charged with fraud for parading a hairy dog as a lion. The article carried a picture and to be fair the dog looked remarkably lion like,albeit on the small side. The fraud was discovered when the dog barked. Google it, unlike the ukelele I'm not making this up. The second article was about ranking innovative companies. The point of the article was that IT companies such as google and Facebook that the average punter would expect to see feature quite highly, didn't.  My query is how does that zoo in china not crack the top 10.?I love them. If i knew how to "like"something on facebook i would. How funny  is putting your mangy pet out the front and putting a sign up telling people it's a lion! I was just telling the H man and he's with me that it's gold.

Right, can of diet coke to drink ( havent lost a kilo btw) and if that wasnt enough, at some stage shortly I'm going to need to start gearing up for the mighty black machine versus the Wallabies.
