This is the big event in our little town over the Summer. I didn't go down to the township to watch this year because I'm hobbling about with a lot of joint and muscle pain today, but the sound of the bikes racing can be heard quite clearly here at home.

Yesterday evening I did get a big surprise though, I saw my first motorised bicycle on the streets of our little town. It was a mountain bike fitted with a China Girl and it seemed to be running very nicely. Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to talk to the bike's owner as I didn't fancy my chances with chasing after him on my venerable English Hercules bicycle.

The sound of engines screaming in anger in the distance has always been one of my favorite noises.
