Top-Gear Stig comes out...

For Top-Gear fans world wide who've been wondering who the "Stig" actually is... you no longer have to wonder. The Stig has finally come out of the 4 wheeled closet, only he's come out in SAS form. Wondering who this highly skilled test driver is? If you think you know, post your answer as a comment on this blog. The first person to guess correctly gets to win a fantastic prize.



Who is the Stig?

Down Under, even the birds are up-side-down.



Since Melbourne I have been very slack with the blog. Gaelle has been back over for a couple weeks, and we had a great time!

I have added a few pics to: http://webphotos.aol.fr/galleries/green.simeon@neuf.fr and I will add more soon.

Busy in Melbourne


http://webphotos.aol.fr/galleries/green.simeon@neuf.fr/

I've been pretty busy these days down in Melbourne. Have been riding, going to watch some Cricket, going to the Track cycling champs. I've also been getting in a few hours of Bikestyle work thank goodness.

I've been riding with Dave and his clients. Dave is a cycling coach. Despite having retired from cycling a couple years ago, Dave still rides quite a lot, and he keeps fit. He likes to be very hands on with his clients, and does all their rides with them. So on Saturday for example, he had 3 sets of clients back to back... meaning that although his clients "only" rode 1.5 to 2 hours, Dave got in some 5 hours of riding (and consequently so did I). Dave won a stage of the Giro d'Italia in 2000, and if he carries on like this, he just might be fit enough to make a comeback and win another stage. :-)

Anyway, I have upload a few more picture to http://webphotos.aol.fr/galleries/green.simeon@neuf.fr/
