M&M (Melbourne and McKenzie)



Well here we are. I made it to Melbourne.
Melbourne seems quite different from Brisbane, so starters the daylight is a little more normal, and the rhythm of life seems a lot more European. Later nights and later mornings.

After sitting around drinking wine into late last night (late by Aussie standards, normal by European standards) we got up this morning, had a late breakfast and headed out for a ride at 10am. Oh thank God, back to a normal riding rhythm. :-)

Dave McKenzie, aside from doing TV commentating and live event commentating... AND organizing the Australian Revolution Track events, is also a cycling coach. So he had a client this morning. We rode together to his meeting point, and I then did my own big gear-low HR muscle intervals which Dave rode with his client. After that we rode through the city of Melbourne so that I could get a look at the place, stopping off in a groovy (similar to Georgetown in DC) area for a coffee, and we were back home some time after 1pm.

Melbourne generally seems like a much older city that Brisbane and the Brisbane area. Buildings are older and have more character. I've only been here a day or 2, but it looks like people here might be a little less into show and money... but I'll get a better judge of that in time.

Tomorrow we are riding at 10:30 or 11am I think. Great stuff!!!

On a different topic I see my team-mates over in Perth have been doing some washing machine series (I mean Crit series sorry) in Perth as guest riders for some Aussie club or something. Rather them than me... imagine starting you season with crits. Yuk. Mind you, I think they don't mind crits quite as much as me, so good on them! Hope they are enjoying it.
